For anyone that needs (or may need someday) a CPU chip (MC68EZ328) for the 
Orion 1 main board, I ran across this ebay seller.  According to the schematic, 
the MC68EZ328 is what is used on that board.  I believe it is a 16MHz CPU.  
Only $10 shipped, cheap insurance.

Another Orion user said his chip was stamped XLINK 68328, so the part numbers 
seem to be consistent.


The Orion 2 uses a similar chip but running at a higher clock rate.

It is a surface mount device so you would need someone skilled to replace it.
