From Electronic Component News, February 1986, page 34:

   "The D020 system accelerator turns any 68000-based computer into
a high-performance, plug-in 68020/68881 development system.  Unix
support is available, allowing the system developer the opportunity
of greatly optimizing system performance while optimizing program
code for the 68020 chip.  A single unit without coprocessor is
$995.  Contact Tom Powell, Synergy Microsystems, 1820 Cambridge Avenue,
Cardiff, CA  92007.  (619) 753-2191."

The picture of a sample board (with 68881) appears to be extremely
compact... the CPU and coprocessor take up about 60% of the real
estate, and there are four or five DIPs, a few smaller components,
and what look like two rows in-line cable terminators.
