There was a 68EC020 in my mums washing machine. What does that rate? Laundry spec?

I guess this one was :-)

I was a little surprised to see it when a technician had to come around to service the washing machine. He pulled it apart, and there was this embedded system with a 16MHz rated 68EC020 sat in the midst of some DRAMs and other bits and bobs.

I had an unexpanded A600 at that time and was slightly peeved at the notion my mum's washing machine was probably considerably more powerful :lol:
