I ran across an old XT clone with bus board in it

ever seen had an actual motherboard. I just thought this was an
interesting machine. I have some pictures of it -

about this? Were there other PC's made like this?
Kaypro produced some passive backplane machines in that era, and PCPI
produced a series of cards for passive backplane machines. There were
others, I'm sure.

Pentium 166 running
Linux I use as a webserver.
