Probably the easiest ways to find one is find an old HP9000/200 floating point board.
There is one on there

Note the pic is an 8MHz part, not 10.
National released 4.1BSD for it. Opus Systems had it running on their PC coprocessor
card.
The 16032 with graphics instructions addition
(Bitblt) as the 32CG16 found
some use in laser printers, also--Canon and Panasonic used it on some of
their models.
One of these days, I think I'd quite like to find one of the FPUs; I've got a few
Acorn boards which use the 32016, but I've only ever seen one out in the wild with the
floating point unit fitted -
