I had no idea anyone made any microchannel computers except for IBM's PS/2 series. IBM's microchannels kept a list of ID numbers for the different devices in CMOS - and identification files ( always started with "@" - like "@1234567.cfg"), one file for each installed device ( hard disks, modems, video cards, etc.). These files were called by the setup/installation disk. You probably could download one of the IBM setup disk images from their website ( which one, I don't know ) - but it would be useless without the strange "@" hardware installation files that came with your machine, when it was new. This is a tough problem. You have to know the make/model of each hardware component, and track down an installation disk from THAT manufacturer... just to get the "@" config files. I wouldn't know where to start.
