 ma> :3 yes!

My special computer is a Sega TeraDrive. A 286 system co-developed by IBM
and Sega. It's a 10MHz 286 based on the IBM PS/1 2011, but with a complete
Sega MegaDrive on the motherboard. Unlike the Amstrad Mega-PC, the two
systems are linked through a bus arbitrator.

After setting some registers and doing some port writes, you can access the
68000's memory space from the PC (including accessing the sound chips, VDP
and controller ports), and likewise, you can access the PC's memory and IO
space from the MegaDrive (including the VGA chip and any devices on the ISA
bus).

I wrote a demo showcasing these abilities last year:
