The next Amiga (the A2000) has the '020 as an expansion bus board,
sorta like the '020 boards on the IBM-PC's. Of course, this one is
from the manufacturer. It also has an '86 of some kind or another.

>> Well, how many machines at *all* have the 010?

Workstations. The real win with the '010 was being able to do VM.
There wasn't enough performance gain (outside of special applications)
over the '000 to make it worthwhile, unless you wanted to do VM.
