Everything but the MCA will work beautifully with NetBSD.

Historically (may not be the case now, but who knows?), IBM required a
NDA (or worse) to view the specs for MCA since they didn't want to lose
the technology to competitors.

This kept the free unix world from writing drivers, and subsequently kept
the machines from being able to support any OS that ships sourcecode.

Personally, I like MCA for it's technical merits, but IMHO it's on the way
out since IBM had such a stranglehold on it.  :P
