architecture
(MCA)
IBM
's proprietary 32-bit
bus
, used in
high-end
PS/2
personal computers
. Micro Channel is
designed for
multiprocessing
. It eliminates potential
conflicts that arise when installing new peripheral devices.
MCA is *not* compatible with either
EISA
or
XT busarchitecture
so older cards cannot be used with it.
As with the
ROM
BIOS
in the first
IBM PCs
, figuring out
the Micro Channel's secrets has been an arduous task of
reverse engineering
ever since the PS/2 line was announced.
Consequently, the MCA has never become as wide spread as the
competing
EISA
standard.
