The Exidy Sorceror had BASIC as a plug-in ROM cartridge I believe. If you are including that one, I think the
Atari 400 and 800 belong on the list too. 

Brent has mentioned the HP9830. There is also the HP9831 (==HP9825 with BASIC not HPL in ROM) and the
HP9845. I think the HP9835 has BASIC in ROM too, but I don't own one to check. Should you include the 
HP9000/200 machines (HP9816, HP9817, HP9826, HP9836, HP9920)? Although they normally boot from
disk, there was a BASIC ROM board available.

Dragon 32 and 64 (not quite TRS-80 CoCo clones). 
(and IIRC the enhancements to CoCo3 BASIC were written by Microware, not Microsoft).

Camputers Lynx (which had floating point line numbers I believe!)

Tektronix 4051, 4052, 4054 (and probably other Tektronix machines)

Research Machines RML480Z. I think there was a BASIC ROM PCB for the 380Z too, but I've
never seen it.
