(if you can
get a 68008, are they easy to get now?)
Were they ever? I've got two 68008 ICs (one in the Cumana copro for a BBC
micro, and one in a STE-bus board) and those are the only two I've ever come
across. Compare that to a healthy pile of Z80 and 68000 (and '010 etc.)
processors...
I'm not sure they ever really saw much widespread use (actually, what
commercial machines used them other than the Sinclair QL?)
68008 was reasonably popular in the embedded world. The chips are
really not hard to get in the US.
