that multiple bus master slave CPUs were existent and even then less than
common. the typical multiple CPU system would be like a Compupro
8/16 where the one CPU board carried a 8085 and 8088 with provisions to
switch between them.
So the system using the Marinechip T11 board that was the sole cpu.
I have both 8/16 and a true multimaster S100 system the later was
my own design boards.

If an S100 board had a PDP-11 CPU, then would
that
become the master CPU?
Bear in mind that I never used the thing; all I have are old
memories of a magazine ad. My impression was that it was just
like the ISA Osprey.
