No, but rad hard 386s are available (flown on SAMPEX and later SMEX
missions).  R3000s have also been flight qual'd although the floating
point performance isn't as good as the 386.  I think one flew on
Clementine.

Why folks still baseline on the 1750A is something of a mystery to
this software person.  I suppose there is a base of 1750A test suites
and simulators that 386 users wouldn't have.
