Was there more than a marketing relationship between the two machines, i.e., was there a technical/engineering connection?

None. There wasn't a marketing relationship, either - they were not seen as competing for the same business market.

And yes, I know it was a dud — mind you, this one still works, evidently, after nigh-on 30 years, so they can't all have been so bad.

They're both engineering marvels. A little bit off the mark in different ways, but they aren't "bad."
