You could get similar products for the non-PC compatible computers that were popular in the UK, especially during the late 80s/early 90s period when PC software was worth having but the hardware was still comparatively expensive.

I used Amiga and Archimedes PC cards in the 90s - couldn't tell you which ones - and have seen a BBC Master 512 in use. I admit I've never actually seen an ST hardware emulator though.
(I used the software-based pc ditto on an ST in the 90s, which did a decent job of being a IBM XT, albeit one running at about 1 MHz. But I'm sure it would have run very nicely on a Falcon or TT030.)
