== Usage == The 68020 was used in the [[Apple Inc.|Apple]] [[Macintosh II]] and [[Macintosh LC]] [[personal computer]]s, [[Sun-3]] workstations, [[Amiga 1200]] (68EC020 variant), the [[Hewlett-Packard]] 8711 Series Network Analyzers, [[HP 9000]]/320, HP 9000/330, [[Apollo Computer]]'s [[Apollo/Domain|DN3000 and DN4000]] workstations,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://web-docs.gsi.de/~kraemer/COLLECTION/www.hunkler.com/aegis/aegis_sg.html|title=Survival Guide for Apollo Workstations|author=Tim Hunkler|date=July 1996|access-date=2022-10-13}}</ref> and the [[Alpha Microsystems]] AM-2000. The 68020 was an alternative upgrade to the [[Sinclair QL]]'s [[Motorola 68008|68008]] in the Super Gold Card interface by [[Miracle Systems]]. The [[Amiga 2500]] and A2500UX optionally shipped with the A2620 Accelerator using a 68020, 68881 FPU and 68851 MMU. The 2500UX shipped with [[Amiga Unix]], requiring an '020 or '030 processor. A number of [[Digital storage oscilloscope|digital oscilloscopes]] from the mid-80s to the late-90s used the 68020, including the [[LeCroy Corporation|LeCroy]] 9300 Series<ref>LeCroy 1996 Test & Measurement Product Catalog, 9300 Series Upgrade Path, p. 66</ref> (higher end models including "C" suffix models used the more powerful [[68EC030]];<ref>LeCroy 1998 Test & Measurement Product Catalog, 9300 Series Hardware Options, Mega Waveform Processing, pp. 87β88</ref> the 9300 models with a 68020 processor can be upgraded to the [[68EC030]] with a change of the CPU board<ref>LeCroy 1996 Test & Measurement Product Catalog, 9300 Series Hardware Options, Mega Waveform Processing, pp. 66-67</ref>) and the earlier LeCroy 9400 series (all models<ref>LeCroy 9410 Digital Oscilloscope Service Manual, 9410 Hardware Overview, Section 2.1, December 1991</ref><ref>LeCroy 9424 Digital Oscilloscope Service Manual, 9424 Hardware Overview, Section 2.1, May 1993</ref><ref>LeCroy 9450 Digital Oscilloscope Service Manual, 9450 Hardware Overview, October 1990</ref><ref>LeCroy 9450A Digital Oscilloscope Service Manual, 9450 Hardware Overview, December 1991</ref> excluding the 9400/9400A which used the [[68000]]<ref>LeCroy 9400/9400A Digital Oscilloscope Service Manual, Section 1.1.1.3 Microprocessor, August 1990</ref>), along with certain [[Tektronix]] TDS Series models.<ref>Tektronix TDS684A, TDS744A, & TDS784A Digitizing Oscilloscope Service Manual, 070-8992-03, January 1995</ref> The HP 54520, 54522, 54540 and 54542 also use the 68020, together with a 68882 FPU.<ref>Hewlett Packard 54520 and 54540 Series Oscilloscope Service Guide (54542-97015), Chapter 8, Main Assembly Theory, April 1994</ref> It is also the processor used on [[TGV]] trains to decode signalling information sent to the trains through the rails. It is used in the flight control and radar systems of the [[Eurofighter Typhoon]] combat aircraft. The Nortel Networks [[DMS-100]] telephone central office switch also used the 68020 as the first [[microprocessor]] of the SuperNode computing core.
