<< I have a model 80 with built in SCSI that won't survive the next trash
 pick up! My neighbor just pitched his model 70. I didn't bother to take
 it out of the trash! I have a LOT of PCs that are a lot older than any PS-2
 ever made! Altair -1976, IBM 5100 - 1977, HP 9100 - 1968, lots of HP
 9815s, HP 9825s and HP 85s from the '70s.
 
   You left out the idiotic micro-channel bus!

well, so you dont like mca. that's fine, but the 8580 didnt come with scsi
built in. the hard drive in it was ESDI. the premium series had built in scsi
on the planar. let me correct myself in saying that my model 77 will certainly
outlast any IBM-PC compatible machine of its era. please note that i am
comparing MCA to ISA here. im not disparaging any other type.
