- Take another look at your sources. 68000's are going in the $5 range. If
- you call up a Motorola distributor I'll bet you will find the $60.00
- price is somewhat current. My guess is that the 010 just hasn't achieved
- the volume level that the 68k has, and thus commands a higher price.
- Any Semi reps around that might comment on this?
