Hmm.. Would the 486 system I had a while back count? I forget who made it,
model A3000. 486DX/33 AMD CPU and FPU and some other chips were on a small
daughterboard that fit into a slot in the front of the computer, which
interfaced to an MCA slot... Now that's gotta be wierd for anything.
Closest thing to that I can think of is the hard drives IBM used in some
PS/2's that interfaced directly to the MCA bus(interface built in to the
drive's controller board with a cable going to the MCA riser card in the
Model 30-286 and maybe the 55sx too). That 486 was fun, wish I still had
it... :-|
