        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.
                                                                Conan
