IIRC, 68000s did turn up in the updated Main Engine Controllers circa

the Shuttle was also now using the 68000.

Hmm, right you are. Jenkins says the Block II MECs were certified in
1991 (p. 416) but does not mention that it used a 68000. That bit of
info is in /Computers in Spaceflight: The NASA Experience/, however.

....And with that, Brian wins an "I Corrected Jorge" baseball cap, the
first of its kind. Congrats!
