Offhand, the (soon, if not already, discontinued) Sun 386i comes to mind.
SunOS ran on it, and DOS in a window (or as many windows as you
wanted), if I remember rightly.

Early on in the Clone Wars, there were a lot of machines which ran MS-DOS,
but which weren't exact IBM clones (most of them were in fact better in one
way or another-- more memory, lower price, better graphics...).  I doubt that's
what you're looking for, though.
