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.
