Signetics sells an evaluation board with the 68070, their graphics chip, and
some RAM/EPROM.  It costs about 1,200 dollars.  Check with your Signetics rep 
for details.  I don't have any more information since the price put me off.

When I talked to a signetics rep last month I found out that the 68070 will be
in production soon.  Speeds available are 10 MHz (now), and 12.5 MHz and 15 MHz
in a few months.  They are just beginning serious production now. The 10 MHz 
unit costs 30 dollars in 5000 units and is available today from Hamilton-Avnet.
