There were Windows, DOS, and CP/M boards available for Apple, IBM, SGI and other heterogeneous hardware in the 1980s and 1990s. I don’t see what the big deal is now.

And for the Amiga. The Amiga 2000 has ISA slots, and the bridge board let you run PC apps in a window.

My Amiga 2000 had a 68000 CPU, a 68020 accelerator, an 8086 on the bridge board, a 286 accelerator, a Z80 on the SCSI controller, and of course the 6502 compatible in the keyboard....

(of course only up to 4 of those were in use at any one time)

The one and only member of my Commodore computer club who had an Amiga showed me his machine one time. I remember the screen was split between an Amiga app and DOS WordPerfect. I was amazed.

		It was incredibly awesome as a demo, and I'm sure it was helpful for people who genuine needed PC apps, but for me it was a curiosity that I picked up because it was cheap used... Because DOS apps were still DOS apps, and very few of them were attractive to me...
