They also don't support Linux or some options/PCMCIA cards, but Microchannel
is faster than all the other buses up until PCI came out. The advantages
are that you can share IRQs, and in my personal experiance, OS/2 runs better on
a MCA machine than an exact machine without MCA. This could be the same
for Win 95.
If you would like, I could email you a whole list of technical information about
the 700.
