There are more examples. Between the 60ies and early 90ies, Philips in the Netherlands sold their own line of proprietary computer systems such as the P800 series (PDP/11-like) and P4000 series (a Cobol programmed office computer). The Philips computer division was later sold to DEC. Information about much of this hardware is nearly nonexistent.

I don't know off the top of my head, but I imagine there were just as many in Europe. Most of the machines and their software are entirely lost to history at this point, with the companies bankrupt or dissolved and documentation and hardware all scrapped.
