Demand? I think this thread is the first time I've seen 68K mentioned 
for many years except in the context of programming classic Palms (for 
which there is, it appears, a native Pascal compiler).

I see that the Linux kernel still supports the architecture, and that 
Qemu supports a variant. But I don't think I've ever seen a 68K system 
on e.g. eBay... I lie, somebody was trying to give away an old 
workstation on a private conferencing system I use (CIX) but it had 
something like 2Mb RAM.
