Not to my knowledge, but you may look at the book:

Tale of the Comet, Roland Green
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0786906545/9047-0653587-555773

The essense of the book is a collision of world of magic and the world
of technology.

Also, Roger Zelazny had written a book which had a similar scenario (I
just don't remember the name of the book) where the newborn son of a
powerful magic-user was exchanged for a baby from a technology world to
prevent him from doing any harm to the magic world.
