A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away... Sorry wrong story. A long time ago when I still wrote communications software, I was sitting at my desk and one of our companies salesmen called to get my assurance that a particular board would plug into the system bus of the Small System Controller, (it wouldn't the SSC was based on an IBM PC ISA bus the card in question was S100). I asked why? Apparently he'd sold a SSC with one of those cards and the customer was complaining that it wouldn't fit. He wanted me to tell them that they were wrong. I literally, fell off my chair, and after I picked myself up off the floor, told him to take is problem to the hardware engineering group.
