Read that Personal Systems magazine from 1992 that was

and enjoyed the article on the PS/2 295 system. I never heard about that
one, the biggest PS/2's I worked on were the 95 systems with 486
processors back at Covington.
One thing that popped out: The 295 was a multi-processor-ish system with
two MCA busses. Granted they were decoupled with each processor having
its own MCA bus but it got me to thinking: Were there other systems of
that time that could use two MicroChannel busses?

Available 1996/11/08
Model Abstract 7013-595
The IBM* RS/6000 Model 595 deskside server is a powerful uniprocessor that
is based on the POWER2 Super Chip (P2SC) implementation of the POWER
Architecture*.
The Model 595 differs from predecessors by offering high-performance, dual
Micro Channel* buses. Each bus is used to generate four Micro Channel slots
and supports the high-speed, data streaming protocol.
