With microsh*t writing the "portable" operating system it should be bootable
by 2000 or so...

Let's see, ACE is supposed to have a "full" system sometime in '92.
Can use either intel or mips chips...
Can use either EISA or Turbo (DEC) bus...
Can use either NT OS/3 (third of an operating system) or SCO Unix...

yeah, it looks like ACE is certainly consolidating all the platforms down
to a usable standard.

Looks like in this case ACE has a value of 1 - low card out....
