I was working from scratch, and was finding debugging to be exceedingly 
difficult.  These days it would be somewhat easier as I have a good 
logic analyzer I could hook up to the MC68010.  (An in-circuit emulator 
would be even better.)

Yes, and there is enough clearance (barely) to fit such a thing in, 
though the MC68010 might have to be soldered in place as their might not 
be enough clearance for socketed components on the daughterboard.
