I have one of the Mot 68HC11EVBU boards and, for the most part, it is
useless for program development.  It has NO external memory available.
It comes with a 68HC11E9 part with BUFFALO monitor in ROM and has 512
bytes of EEPROM.

I would suggest that you look into the New Micros (214)339-2204
NMIT-0020 board.  For $99 you get the a whole load of features.  One of
the guys here has one and is very happy with the value.

It is about 4"x6" with a generous prototyping area that can be
removed.  It includes a 68HC11E9 chip with FORTH in ROM, THREE external
28 pin JEDEC sockets that can hold RAM, EPROM or EEPROM (programmable
ONBOARD).  It has a 4x5 keypad input and a 2x80 LCD port.

They even throw in Small C (near useless, get ICC11 of the net),
BASIC11 (clever, you can save programs in EEPROM) and the freeware
assembler.
