What's a PC Server 720?
MCA/PCI hybrid, up to six (!) Intel Pentiums. Very unusual
architecture, with a proprietary processor-memory bus bridged to
PCI and MCA via a bridge board. However, still made to be PC-
compatible.
Wow...bizarre! I'd love to get my hands on one of those. Are
there many out there?

work on the basis that 1982 is the cutoff year for
anything

powered by
Intel or AMD.
That's not right either. There are interesting Intel-based boxes out
there. IBM PC Server 720? Sequent DYNIX boxes? Tandy 4000MC?
