Actually, no, IBM charged royalties or at least a one time licensing fee 
forMCA, and it was _steep_.  That's why so few bought into it, however, 
NCR, being the type of ppl they are had to have the best.  And they make 
some really hot boxes...Wish i had one of those multiprocessor 486s 
(didn't know they were in on the alpha market tho)
EISA was an attempt by the 3rd party comp mfgrs to turn around and say 
see, we don't need MCA, go to hell
But this doesn't realy have much to do with unix does it?
*thinks we needs a PC base or at least hardware*
