They have a whole list on that page. Lexmark printers in the 90s, for instance, used Xinu.

Interesting, I worked at Lexmark for a few years and didn't know that. One of my professors at the University of Kentucky worked on Xinu, I wonder if he had any influence on it being used at Lexmark (the university and company are both based in Lexington, KY)

Printers sold by Lexmark until 2009 used Xinu onboard. Now they're some lightweight Linux.
