Yes, you are right. The report gives some examples of dual 68000's in
Tandem's peripheral subsystems. On 2015-07-03 8:09 PM, Glen Slick wrote:
Not sure what you are referring to, here. Tandem did not use 68K
processors as the main CPU
in any of their machines. (There could, possibly, have been 68Ks in
some of the peripherals.)
Apollo is the classic example of using plain 68K (two).
I always associate it with Tandem:

I likely was thinking of Stratus, because I remember
reading this before:
http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~david/papers/ibmsj1987_stratus.pdf
Unfortunately, that paper can slightly confuse you. They talk about
68000-family, and if you read on, you'll find that the "current" models
use the 68020...
