I just typed in Motorola 68000 on ebay. The first listing I saw was for $3.39 + $3.00 shipping. I don't think you can get a sega genesis for cheaper than that.

Do you mean binary blob like the Linux,the kernel includes if so a binary blob has the bad side-effect of making all programs that use it non-free software. I would assume that non-free binary blob can easily be replaced with a free-software replacement. I don't see the need for a binary blob.
