Oh now THAT is cool. :-)
Anybody know of any other systems to implement this sort of of
functionality?

Agreed, I can't wait to get my system home so I can start playing with it.

The DEC Rainbow has two different CPU's in it, however, I don't know if you
can run different stuff on each one at the same time. IIRC, it has a Z80
and a 8086 so you can run different software (sort of like the
Commodore 128 running Commodore or CP/M software).
