This has resulted in new classes of machines such as personal computers, and high performance parallel processors that contains thousands of CPUs.

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.
