1153.0. "68020 Design kit offer" by PUERTO::ALVAREZ (Miguel,from sunny Puerto Rico) Tue Feb 09 1988 15:41

    	I just received a brochure of an offer for buying 68020 & family
    chips at a very reasonable price, and thought somebody might be
    interested. The offer is this:
    
    For $399 you get a 68020 CPU, 68881 FP, 68851 MMU, enough static
    RAMs for 4Kx32 bits (at 35ns cycle time), 11 channel A/D converter
    chip set (145040 & 41) with serial interface port, complete user's
    manual, technical summaries, engineering bulletins, brochures, article
    reprints and a microphotograph of the 68020 chip.
    
    	This offer is from Hamilton/Avnet, so contact you nearest
    representative and ask for the Motorola MC68020KIT. I can send 
    a copy of the brochure via interoffice if anyone is interested.

Yesterday I received a pamphlet from Hamilton/Avnet, announcing the 68020
Design Kit.  The kit includes: 
 
	1. 68020, '881 and '851, all 16.67MHz parts;
	2. 8 M6268P35 CMOS 4K static ram (35ns) chips;
	3. MC145040 and MC145041;
	4. manuals, tech. notes, engineering bulletin, reprints etc.
 
Single set price is $329.50.  5-9 sets $309.50/ea, 10+ sets $289.50/ea.
 
This kind of promotion says 32-bit computing is definitely affordable.
