Once upon a midnight dreary, Russ Blakeman had spoken clearly:
The models up to (but not including) the 50 series were
ISA and after that
were
microchannel.
Oh, the collectibility of MCA machines was brought up once before in this
thread, and (to me, anyway) the Tandy MC5000 seems rather collectible, as
one of the very few non-IBM MCA architecture machines ever sold. (I
acutally saw one, once upon a time... they weren't too popular, tho.)
Was this the first MCA "clone"?
I'm pretty sure the MC5000 came out in '88, so it's ontrack topically.
All the info on the vintage IBM machines can be found
starting with the
index page
at IBM Canada (eh!) at
http://www.can.ibm.com/helpware/vintage.html
Hey! I'm not Canadian, and I say eh! (of course, the border is roughly 4 km
away, so...... ;-)
See ya,
