BYTE had a coprocessor project sporting a 68020. For the life of me I can't remember
what it's job was though. Something tells me it was related to graphics, but not an
actual crt controller or what have you.
Quite some
time back I used an OCR package on a 486
that used the AMD
29K PeeCee development board for the horsepower.
In 1988 or so, I used a similar OCR setup at work. I
think it was called Calera, but I'm not sure. It used
an ISA board with a 16MHz 68020 and a bunch of memory on it.
It ran under DOS. Its code was all RAM-based, and was
downloaded into the board at boot time by programs run from
autoexec.bat.
