That's an extremely confusing statement, as MCA is quite common in
many small-to-medium RS/6000's from just a few years ago. How can
MCA compete against RS/6000's when it's part of many RS/6000's?
I'm also confused by your statement that "MCA was discontinued", as IBM
continues to sell RS/6000's (both the R50 and the SP system 9076 are listed
in their February 1999 sales brochure) with MCA busses and MCA
cards and MCA peripherals.
