Yeah...the something-or-other DOS compatible, I'm thinking an LC or
Centris model in the '040 era. And they did it again in the PowerPC
era with the 6100. It was more than just the PC CPU, it contained
all the necessary chips of a PC and then some bridge stuff to allow
the PC to pipe mouse and keyboard through to the Mac's mouse and
keyboard. Video was a simple A/B switch circuit (you could see
either environment but you couldn't have a Nisus Write window and a
Microsoft Access window side by side on the same screen).
There was also a 3rd party version around for a long time that you
could install yourself, going back to the 286 and (IIRC) fading from
the scene in the Pentium era, Orange Micro or Orange PC, something
like that. A PC on a NuBus or LC PDS card.
