It's actually probably one of the last MCA designs. It's a very nice

think it's one of the fastest microchannel boxes ever made.
Peace... Sridhar
Well, that certainly showed my ignorance of IBM RS/6000 machines :)
In that case, this would really be one heck of a box, and actually
pretty competitive with modern machines. That can't be too old,
then, actually, I'd imagine.

Also, at the same place there's an RS/6000 J50.
Again, just the
CPU box itself and no way of testing anything.
Probably just an early MCA bus POWER based machine. Again, its
kind of interesting in that I don't see IBM RISC stuff very often,
but in the grand scheme of things, it's not as interesting as
the Aviion stuff (if its 88000 based).
