There was a question regarding transputer boards for IBM PS/2 (MicroChannel) systems on this list a few weeks ago. I met somebody of the IBM lab Yorktown heights two weeks ago (I was asked not to give his name) who said that a US company doing PC boards definitely will have a PS/2 board *really soon now*. Unfortunately, he said that he is not yet allowed to tell me the companie's name. Sigh! (CSA, Microway, Definicon, ...?) Hope that helps and causes the corresponding company to speak up on this list! What's the most important aspect to me: Will the host interface on that PS/2 board be faster (DMA!) than the damned software polling solution on all the PC boards now???
