* Microchannel is the most advanced and best archectected BUS every to grace a PC. PCI still lacks features found in MCA. Unfortunately the world wasn't ready and IBM didn't know how to OEM it...... Got to admit. never had to worry about IO Address/DMA/IRQ conflicts in MCA. Now where did I put that reference diskette :) * Sean, I agree on MCA. I still have my 8570 (sitting in the garage). It really is too bad we had to step backwards to move forward on this. IBM really blew it when they wouldn't license the technology out. I think that is where IBM was thinking to short term and money orientated. They couldn't see that they were pricing themselves and thier product right out of the market. It forced others to come up with an alternative that was cheaper but not as good. forever dismayed when looking at cables and screws :-) Ed
