SouthWest Technical Products with their 6800 based PCs used a back plane system.
There were the S-100 and STD buss based systems that had a variety of cards that plugged onto a back-plane.
If memory serves me right, the early Heathkit H8 systems were card and back-plane too.
Actually, prior to the Apple and PET 'most' computer systems were cards that plugged onto a back-plane that provided power and a data buss.
This includes the early PDP series from Digital.
