The best one is a Pentium 60, whose uname -a mentions "MCA" in the

Didn't Tandy offer a microchannel system at
one time? IIRC, it also was a
great stinking failure.
NCR did a few too (before AT&T bought them). I remember one that was
a multiprocessor 80486 with multiple Micro Channel buses, running
NCR's System V Release 4. Imagine a PC about the size of two
household kitchen refrigerators stuck together, you'll have about the
right idea.
