As I said in another post, I could have this wrong, but the

don't know any).
Well, Gordon Bell and I have been swapping e-mails, but I
wouldn't claim to *know* him.

Not many know this, but Chuck Peddle, who
designed MCA, also gave it
legs to run up to 100MHz. However, I don't think IBM ever implemented
an MAC bus at that speed.
Wow, I didn't know Peddle designed MCA. What else did he do
(besides the 6502 and the PET)?
