Motorola 68000-16 and 68450 chips...

a couple of questions:

does anyone have a spare 16MHz 68k CPU (or a source in the UK who may sell
them - Maplins don't). There must be lots somewhere gathering dust since
everyone moved to the later 68k family chips (all I have spare are the stock
8MHz versions). Lots of non-home-computer stuff seems to use them (phone
exchanges, network equipment, video processing boxes etc.).

also, does anyone know of anything that used 68450 chips? (they're 4-channel
DMA controllers for the 68k apparently). I found a couple of these amongst
the piles of junk I have and am curious as to where I might have got them -
I can't think of anything I've ever stripped for parts which may have used
them! :-)

cheers
