Yes.  OS/5 devices use memory mapping, and Sony devices run applications in
user mode.  While memory mapping could be used to prevent coprocessor
register access, it is not.  PNOlets can access system registers, even on
the user mode devices.  The game is that many of the devices remap the
registers to different addresses than the chip manufacturer specifies.
There are a number of queries in the archives about "where are the system
registers on device x".

Several mappings that I know of are that the Tungsten/T uses identity
mapping (registers are exactly where TI says they are), and the Tungsten/T3
moves registers at 4xxxxxxx to 9xxxxxxx.  The TI watchdog timer on the Zire
71 is at FFFEC800.
