We once had four Xerox mainframes sharing a portion of main memory - if you toggled the wrong address, all four crashed and a police car gumball on top of the memory cabinet lit up along with a siren. There was also a clock margin switch that let you run hot, but the manual specifically disclaimed mathematical accuracy with a fast clock.
