Many, if you include the "special" applications, such as programmable
controllers.
It might help to determine what platforms the 68k
versions ran on. I'm pretty sure the Dimension 68000
had it (in fact I *may* have it). Don't have a
Dimension yet though...
Again, there were versions for CNC and industrial equipment also.
However, I think that the prevailing thought was that there were
better OS-es for "general computation" type of work. There wasn't a
lot of carryover from the Intel platform program base, as there was
between CP/M-80 and CP/M-86.
I liked GEM a lot on the 68K.
