The PERW AGW3300 (aka PERQ 3a) uses a pair of them in the graphics 
processor. Unlike the classic PERQs, the AGW3300 is a 68020-based unix 
box, with a rather interesting microcoded graphices processor built in.

The 29116 is not really a microprocessor. It would be better to call it 
the data path section of a 16 bit processor. You need to add the 
microcode sequencer, etc externally.
