Reinventing incompatible I/O for existing operating systems.

Maybe if they wrote a new unencumbered OS, but I'm not holding my breath.

I don't get why they abandoned their original Eurocard form factor for something truly
braindead.

Linear regulators on every card is stupid in the era of high efficiency switchers.

Now he's talking about Multibus, so he can use all of those 8" SMD disk and
Pertec tape controller boards. Maybe my boxes of that junk will be worth something now.
