[comp.sys.ibm.pc] 32bit Microchannel Memory Cards

gcoen@ut-emx.UUCP (G. Coen) (02/13/90)

Has anyone out there in NetLand had any experiences with 32bit memory cards for the microchannel bus? I am currently aware of only three such products: the IBM
2-8Mb (85 ns.) card, the IBM 2-6Mb (80 ns.) card, the Intel Above Board MC 32 (4-8Mb, 80 ns.) card, and a Tecmar board (?-32Mb., ? ns.). Okay, four products.


Are these all 32bit memory architectures (as opposed, say, to 36bit, etc.)?  What limitations on future compatibility, expandibility, and functionality might beimposed by selecting a non-IBM part to place in an IBM machine, e.g., a model 80-041?
