I don’t know, but I think it is fairly safe to assume that there were no superhyway implementations other than internal to SuperH Co (or Hitachi).  Probably not at ST either.

I think this board, and infrastructure, can go without affecting any actual (even historical) user.  If anyone wants further conformation that there are/were no users of this in the wild, raise a flag and I will find out.
