The predecessor to the SuperH is the H8 family of devices, which notably included H8/3292, the microcontroller in the Lego Mindstorms RCX. Obviously an irrelevant implementation detail to 99% of users, but deeply important if you were one of those weirdos who compiled BrickOS for your system so that your Lego robot could run a real C program, and even moreso if you needed to rewrite parts of your program in native assembly language to make it run fast enough to be usable.
(This was me, in my bedroom at age 16, furiously preparing a robot capable of playing Connect-4 for an rtlToronto Lego robotics competition called Deep Yellow...)
