After doing some looking I thought I'd go with 68020 if I were to do

try something even simpler first, if I can get my hands on the Art of
Electronics books... they're on Amazon, I'll probably just have to
buckle down and shell out the money.

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?)
