The MCA on the PS/2 is "dumb" MCA. Shortly after the PS/2 was released,
the RS/6000 came about and MCA was enhanced, as well as a few features
became "public" about the original MCA. Included in the enhancements were
data streaming, parity, and a much improved exception handling system.

I do not know about the more modern MCA machines - perhaps the newer
RS/6000s have a newer MCA. I would certainly hope so.
