- msla 4y agoSo a Motorola 68030, which was a workstation-class processor to Sun and Apollo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_68030 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_68030 > It was also used in Unix workstations such as the Sun Microsystems Sun-3x line of desktop workstations (the earlier "sun3" used a 68020), Apollo Computer's DN3500 and DN4500 workstations Also, the original Macintosh II used the 68020 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macintosh_II https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macintosh_II which was still workstation-class: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_68020 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_68020 > The 68020 was used in the Apple Macintosh II and Macintosh LC personal computers, Sun-3 workstations, Amiga 1200 (68EC020 variant), the Hewlett-Packard 8711 Series Network Analyzers, HP 9000/320, HP 9000/330, Apollo Computer's DN3000 and DN4000 workstations,[19] and the Alpha Microsystems AM-2000.
