Micro Channel Architecture
<architecture> (MCA) IBM's proprietary 32-bit bus, used in
high-end PS/2 personal computers. Micro Channel is
designed for multiprocessing. It eliminates potential
conflicts that arise when installing new peripheral devices.
MCA is *not* compatible with either EISA or {XT bus
architecture} so older cards cannot be used with it.
As with the ROM BIOS in the first IBM PCs, figuring out
the Micro Channel's secrets has been an arduous task of
reverse engineering ever since the PS/2 line was announced.
Consequently, the MCA has never become as wide spread as the
competing EISA standard.

<communications> A channel (on a BRI or PRI line) used to
carry control information, to set up connections on the
associated bearer channels. The name wasn't too bad back
when users were sending voice (not data) over the {bearer
channels}, but in 1997 it's quite a misnomer.

Micro Channel architecture
Micro Channel architecture, or the Micro Channel bus, is a proprietary 16- or 32-bit parallel computer bus introduced by IBM in 1987 which was used on PS/2 and other computers until the mid-1990s. Its name is commonly abbreviated as "MCA", although not by IBM. In IBM products, it superseded the ISA bus and was itself subsequently superseded by the PCI bus architecture.
