I just called CCSI and found out that the ex-port only supports
hard and floppy drive cards, he also said that the product would not
work on a MCA machine. From experience it is better to sell your
MCA machine and buy a EISA if you want ISA support. It is hard to
go from one bus to another without many wait states. Their are over
1000+ MCA cards on the market today with one for every use. Ask your
IBM dealer or IBM for the "IBM Catalog of Micro Channel Expansion
Adapters" The book includes product not from IBM. "This catalog
includes information about 1,030 adapter products from 362 developers
of which 95 are bus master adapters from 50 developers. Of the 1,030
total adapter products listed, 1,004 are currently available." If
you would like to look up a few adapters call the IBM NCS BBS at 1-
404-835-6600. IBM runs a free and great BBS for their users. Type
DA to access the Adapter listing which is updated every month at least.
