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.
MicroChannel is neat.
