I would think that trying to find 68008 would be a rather difficult
task.  I used to use this chip quite a bit.  It was really fun.  Also,
if you need a compiler for that chip, let me know.

I have a midi Glockenspiel that uses a 68008 to do the Midi and control
the solenoids that strike  the bars.
