I had the questionable fortune of working on a multiple 68000 machine of 
sorts; it consisted of multiple processor boards stuffed into a Q-bus 
machine.  The 68000 side ran a (I am not making this up) multiuser PICK 
interpreter; the PDP-11 side ran code under RSX that essentially turned 
the PDP-11 into a disk I/O processor.

Yeah, I was pretty hungry when I signed up for that one.
