Yow.  I thought this would be an easy question.  I called Time
Electronics and asked for the part (mc68851rc16).  After a few minutes,
the salesman came back with "We have no stock; and no pricing either.
I'd have to call Motorola to find out what a minimum buy would be."

(No sweat, I'd had Time let me down before.)

So, I called Hamilton/Avnet.  They once *had* a kit - MC68020KIT, with
an '020, '881, and '851 in it, plus some rams, A/Ds, and lots of
documentation - including user manuals for all three chips.  Well, they
too didn't have the part, and would have to call Motorola.  So, I asked
about the kit.

I mean they had the kit a year ago - I bought one then for $330.  The
salesman said they had no stock on the kit either, and didn't know if it
would be available again.

I don't buy from anyone else who carries Moto, so my guess is that
you'll have to have a distributor call the factory, and get a price on
one piece, if Moto will sell one.
