Because of this, some time exists Vesa, and some other exotics.
- indymike 4y agoI remember buying a bunch of ALR EISA 386 boxes that were about the 10% less than an IBM equivalent (Model 70/80). The big difference was that we could re-use some of the cards in our existing machines, and back then that was $1500-$2k in saving per machine. You are very right that PCI killed MCA.
