There was also an Atari Jaguar on an PCI card,
Creative Labs' "Jaguar
Blaster".
They seem to be pretty thin on the ground though, I'd love to get
one....
The only mention I've ever seen anywhere of a Jaguar Blaster card is here:

Read some of the other items, and you'll soon get the idea that the
stories aren't exactly true.
Actually, there was a Jaguar-on-a-PCI-card project called JagPC that was
at least announced by Sigma Designs. I don't think a prototype ever
existed, but I could be wrong. Jaguars were pretty good 2D pixel-pushers,
and would have made a respectable graphics card for the time period.
