It's fun to read this stuff. I didn't
realize microchannel was
available from anyone but IBM. And notice how it's MS(R) OS/2.

MicroChannel *cards* were also made by (at least) 3Com and Silicon
Graphics. (Unless SGI only designed that fancy MCA video card for
IBM and let IBM make it...anybody know? Sridhar, you still have the
one you got from me a dozen or so years ago, right?)
Were there any other MicroChannel systems out there aside from IBM
and Tandy? I seem to recall there was at least one other.
