Anders, thank you for the pointer to the Sanyo PHC-3000.
I suspect that TI never thought that the consumer/commercial market for the 9900 was that lucrative, compared to the radiation-hardened SBP9900 used in defense and space applications. Apparently, there were some much faster CPUs offered by TI in their SBP9900 I2L line that are almost never seen today.
Some of the TMS9900 architecture survives today in the MSP430 microcontroller, but the register "working set" pointer is gone.
Any idea how prolific MSP430 stuff is now? In my line of work I'm exposed to Freescale stuff on a regular basis. I did play around with MSP430 while at university but not since. I have never seen TI uCs in what little car stuff I've pulled apart either.
