   I worked in an IBM shop back in 1990-1993. We had System 38 and AS/400   
   midrange computers, and the IT department had all microchannel PS/2s   
   running OS/2. 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.
