I also looked into the pricing of a 68020 OSK and nearly had a heart attack.
The 6809 stuff should be given away by now, or at least in the < $100 range.
OSK is priced about the same as Unix, but is made for micro-controller systems
as it lacks any real tools.  The C compiler would save alot of time in the
design of a microwave oven, but is less than or equal to a PDP-11 compiler of
the early 70's.
