Duo Computers Duo FC

I've found exactly two articles online that mention this strange PC/NES hybrid, described as such:

Quote:
The Duo FC and Duo FC Plus are 8088- and 80286-based machines, respectively, that also contain a Nintendo engine. So you can go from Lotus 1-2-3 to Super Mario Brothers at the flip of a switch.


That quote is from the Atari HQ article.

It's unclear what sort of relationship Duo had with Nintendo or whether this product actually shipped. Since Duo says they get their hardware from Nintendo, can we assume this isn't a clone system? Anyone seen this thing before?
