Hi Guys,
Could anybody tell me how I can buy a cheap or even used
Microcontroller programmer (M68HC12) and its necessary devices?
I'm new into this and need your advice.
Thanks

You don't need to buy a programmer for the newer flash devices, like
the C32 or E128. You only need to connect them to a serial port and you
can use freeware programs to write to the flash memory.
Many people use the devices that have a lot of RAM (DP256 or DP512) for
development. They have a nice monitor program called d-bug12 that makes
it easy to debug programs using a serial port.
My free IDEs support d-bug12 and the C32 very well.
The exact tools you need depends on exactly which CPUs you have.

Did you ever get devices with the new serial monitor? AFAIK Freescale
ships only empty controllers.
Who to get d-bug into the chip?
But there is a low cost BDM interface ("TBDML") at

Yip, and my friend and i am working on a new port for the BDM so the speed
limit of 20Mhz targets is moved to approximatly 30Mhz so it can be used for
the NE64 network chip 
I think we just need to fine tune Daniels very nice firmware and draw the
new pcb, we have got it up to run
