Both Signetics (SCN68010) and SGS-Thompson (MK68010) make versions of
the 68010.  I don't know what speed ratings these chips carry, but
you can call your local rep and find out.  I suggest you get ahold
of a copy of the _IC_Master_ and learn how to use it.  That very
ability has saved my life on a number of occassions.

Also, Motorola has a part called the MC68332, which is an embedded
controller based on a 16.67MHz MC68010 core CPU.  It has many other
features, some of which come from the MC68020.  This is a very nice
part (but probably _VERY_ expensive).

By the way, there is a company called Krueger that sells refurbished
ICs.  Apparently they remove the parts from PC boards and clean them
up.  There ad in _IC_Master_ says that they carry 68010s and 68020s.
These are probably just Motorola's parts, but I'm sure they are cheaper
than new ones.
