I can think of some more:
-Long serial lines (30+ meters)
-serial links in error prone environments (Next to heavy machines, the C64
was also used there to "replace" some PLC's. Philips was known to do this if
I recall correct.
-People who didn't know the difference and used the more "secure" method (I
was one, and it never worked for me..)
