I put some effort into the Peddle/MCA issue and found
nothing yet.
Personally I'd be mildly surprised if an individualist like CP would've
been found at IBM at the time. I checked BYTEs 6/87,7/87 and found
no mention of any architects. In general, IBM did not celebrate the
individual above the team. Few counterexamples: John Cocke,
Benoit Mandlebrot, ? I suppose a specialist could've found out more
at a specialist event line a "Buscon" or the like.
Ok,
The Chief Architect of IBM's Micro-Channel Architecture was
<drum-roll, please....>
Chet Heath.
My bad.
