We have two Denning robots - they have 68K processors (the older one a 68008,
the newwer one I think is a 68000, but I am not sure).  They both use OSK (the
older one uses OSK version 1.something in ROMs, the newwer one has a boot
floppy).

This is at UMass/Amherst.  We use these beasts for robotics research (mostly
driven from silly UNIX boxes).  The 68Ks are used to manage Z80s controling the
drive motors and ultrasonic sensors and to communicate to the outside world
(the UNIX boxes in our case).
