We've only tried it on some of the desktop Globalyst models, with mixed results
(Pentium and DX2 systems seemed to work OK, DX4's were flakey - when we looked inside
at the butchered motherboards we had some idea why...).
We haven't looked at the higher-end machines at all, there's definitely no Microchannel
support. Some of the multiprocessor servers look like they would make OK fileservers
but I suspect the multiprocessor hardware is not Intel MultiProcessor Specification 1.1
compliant (I have a Brazil port for the MP Spec. dual-Pentium motherboards which are
fairly common in comparison to NCR systems).
