I've been using the MC68VZ328PV in my designs of late. It is a 68k derivative,
has a nice set of I/O, and is cheap. I did have problems locating a source
for single quantities, so I just bought a tray of 60... They are TQFP 144, so
they don't have the problems that a BGA package does for prototype work. The
MC68EZ328 is another version which is slightly slower and has less I/O. The
GCC compiler tools work well with these as they are 68k based.

I'm curious what everyone thinks of this issue,
and what *are* the
better choices?
The Motorola 68EC000 makes a reasonable microcontroller. 16 MB addressing
range, configurable 8- or 16-bit data bus, a range of operating speeds faster than a 6809), freely available tools,
still in full production, and
about $4.00 in single lots.
I'm not finding those. Where are you seeing/getting them? Closest that I
found were some other 68Ks that were in the $8-$10 range.
