Not as such, but there are derivatives.  I haven't read the developer
notes on the G3 series, but the 75/85/95/76/86/9600 series has the disk
controller, a "SWIM III", as one of the functions embedded in the "Grand
Central" I/O subsystem custom chip.

Earlier systems used a SWIM II.  I'd have to search back to find when
the II replaced the original SWIM, or the III replaced the II.
