The first soundblaster was an 8-Bit PC-XT slot card
and could be used in a PC/XT !
(Still got one around here somewhere)
Same goes for propriety CD-ROM drives like
Sony, Mitshumi an Panasonic (Non ATAPI))

Heh, you've reminded me I've got a single speed Mitsumi drive complete with
ISA card in an old Apricot XEN - the whole mechanism, transport and all,
comes out of the case when you hit the eject button and the top flips up
like a record player! They obviously hadn't mastered the 'tray' idea at that
point :)
