Yes, several Workstations use them.  For example, the SUN II line used them,
and they were/are very fast and good, hearty machines.  Not as fast as the
68020 machines out there, but faster than the 68000, not to mention the
nice virtual address space.

My own computer has a 68010 with 8MB of VM running UniFLEX, and I must say
that it really is nice for getting things done *NOW*.  The 010 is a good CPU,
but of course, I would rather have an 020 based machine...
