PCI is much more common than you are aware.  Off the top of my head, I can
think of the following non-PC applications:

Compact PCI
PMC (PCI Mezzanine)
Sun has a PCI bus machine
Mac

The Radstone PPC2 is a VMEbus board which can have any one of a variety of
PowerPC CPUs.  It has on-board peripherals which are PC-derived and highly
compatible as well as PMC plugin slots.

The PMC is electrically PCI with a different form factor.

Interesting times.
