Once upon a midnight dreary, Russ Blakeman had spoken clearly:

Oh, the collectibility of MCA machines was brought up once before in this
thread, and (to me, anyway) the Tandy MC5000 seems rather collectible, as
one of the very few non-IBM MCA architecture machines ever sold. (I
acutally saw one, once upon a time... they weren't too popular, tho.)

Was this the first MCA "clone"?

I'm pretty sure the MC5000 came out in '88, so it's ontrack topically.

Hey! I'm not Canadian, and I say eh! (of course, the border is roughly 4 km
away, so...... ;-)

See ya,
