There were many multibus systems that used the 8086 (or 88) even
before the PC. I used one in summer of '81 with 4 NEC 8" DSDD
drives for 4mb online floppy and just under 1mb ram (the top 128K
had ram and rom mixed). Ran at 8mhz too.
Compupro had an 8085/8088 hybrid, and later there were 286 and even
386 cpus for S100.
So there were a fair number of non-PC 8086/88 and even later systems.

I have an Altos 586, an 8086 machine that is
completely NOT a
pee-cee.
Hm, that might be an interesting question. What machines are there
built around x86 CPUs but which are definitely not peecees?
