Microchannel was nice when you were multitasking or       running the box as a server, but for DOS, ISA is even better.               HR> I say dust it off and put it back in to use :)              Best keyboard ever made - I still have a Model M from that company       that I use.                      HR> Howard               HR> --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A43 2019/03/03 (Windows/32)        HR> * Origin: After Hours|The Villages,FL|afterhours-bbs.com (1:123/130)              ...
