Actually, Linux's MCA support has been around a while. But how the heck
it got into the 2.2 kernel, who wrote it, who knows about it, seems to
be a mystery. ;) And most distributions aren't really set up and tested
for MCA.

And the MCA Linux homepage has disappeared again.

I tried to boot Slackware on a Model 80 back in the days of kernel 2.0.
But the ESDI disk controller was giving me trouble.

Seems /usr/src/linux/Documentation/mca.txt is all the better info you're
going to find...
