ThinkPad Question

[warlord at MIT.EDU (Derek Atkins)]

Um, does Linux support MicroChannel?  It never used to.  Perhaps this
is new in Linux 2.2, but I doubt it.  It is certainly true that
MicroChannel support has never made it into the Linux mainline, at
least as of 2.0.

A number of years ago I was trying to use a ThinkPad 720, but Linux
just wouldn't work due to the MCC losage.
