Isn't Freescales a subsidiary of Motorola? All the chip manufacturing jobs are transferred to Freescales and Motorola would concentrate on the Mobile phones, communications and automobile electronics plus other business. I always use the Freescales and Motorola interchangeably.
Just like the 68HC11, it normally came with an 8K OTP eprom inside. My HC11 SBC from NMI came with the monitor program built in. You can also opt for "FORTH" or "BASIC" interpreter before shipping. But the internal ROM can be disabled to use the eprom outside so I have BASIC in external Eprom and Monitor program internally. Later Motorola came out with 68HC811 and 68HC911 series but it was too late as the market has moved to PIC and AVR. The HC811 is eeprom based and HC911 is flash based. Both can be erased and programmed externally.
