Motorola is happy to supply schematics and board layout for a programming
board that takes an EPROM and a 68705 and has the 68705 transfer the
contents of the EPROM to the 68705's EPROM.  In fact, that is the only way
to program the 68705; it has to program itself, you can't do it externally.
Given this, the problem is reduced to programming an EPROM, for which
innumerable solutions are available.

As for assemblers, you can probably find a good one without too much
trouble, but in a pinch you might want to check out my "aaa", in the
comp.sources.unix archives, which can assemble for almost any 8-bit
machine with an hour or so of work.  aaa is not, by any stretch of the
imagination, a terribly good assembler, but it does work.
