9595 Ardent Tool of Capitalism 
Specializing in machines that use Processor Complexes.

NOTE: This is a compilation of messages from the PS/2 newsgroup, individual e-mails, and classes at the school of hard knocks. Some original posters are credited. Some quotes are from people involved with IBM since the 80s, but I have been running microchannel since 1996.  When in doubt, ask... When I don't know, I post to the PS/2 newsgroup and hope for an answer...

  All images and text on these pages has been lovingly caressed with microchannel. No clone systems were hurt because they weren't used. At all.
