I know that a number of older Stratus boxes used the 68k series.  These
were huge fault tollerant machines - in addition to swapping p/s and disk
without taking the box down, you could also swap enet, x.25 (and other
comm cards), _memory_ and IIRC cpus, too.  They were neat boxes -
redundant bus backplanes.  You could add memory on the fly, too, and
unduplex any resource if you needed more memory/disk/cpu on the fly.

It'd be neat to run NetBSD on one of those suckers.
