You're right, I never did. I already had a 286 and was looking for a
386. No 386 model PS/2 was ISA. L40 doesn't count, it was a laptop,
you couldn't add cards to it :-)

Yes, that is
remarkable, but last I checked the PS/2 line doesn't have
*any* ISA slots which means people had to buy sound cards, joystick
adapters, SuperVGA boards, internal modems, etc. etc. all over again.
At 2X the price. That was a colossally bad move for the consumer
market, which ended up driving the market the most anyway.
You've obviously never run into a PS/2 Model 25 or 30 or even the
"portable" L40. ISA machines, not MCA.
