Why did IBM choose to abjure the Micro Channel for its new 80286 based PS/2 30-286? IBM UK executives at a hands-on demonstration of the model last week declared well we never said we wouldn’t continue with the AT architecture: the 30-286 is available now at UKP1,760 for the System unit and 1Mb of memory; the six page per-minute laser Personal Page Printer is UKP2,000; the 360chps 24 wire Quickwriter UKP1,260.
