Sigh, I failed to mention that the IBM I have are the C10 models. They are
MCA based with a lot of IBM signed chips inside for the I/O devices (oops
I didn't say that and the services techies will never know I violated the
silly warranty by opening the boxes....)
I'm still trying to find a cheaper PREP or CHRP based box with PCI/ISA
busses the IBM 40P series is not priced for my pocket - I heard of a cheap
Tatung clone though... keep my ear to the ground.
