[comp.sys.ibm.pc] IBM PS/2 Micro Channel

connery@bnrmtv.UUCP (04/08/87)

I am wondering if there is anyone out there who has read or in some other
manner learned more details about the new bus architecture for the new
IBM Personal System/2 (boy that's a pain to type) computers.

It is claimed that the new architecture allows "parallel DMA".  How many?
Does this imply dual-ported static RAM?  Is that why IBM's memory board
can only hold 2M and is so expensive?
