    Remember the beta for W2K supported MCA, but it was removed for the release.

    Another necro-thread revival...

    I've checked the pre-release NT 5.0 / Win 2000 images and build 1911
    dated 1998-10-19 seems to be the last one with the "proprietary" HAL
    DLLs still in place: HALMCA, HALCBUS (Corollary), HALCBUSM (Corollary
    MCA), and HALNCR (NCR MP).

    They are all gone in the next leaked/released build - 1946 dated 1999-04-25.

    While the HAL files are still present in the 1911 image, they may be
    unused, broken, or unstable.

    If anyone wants to mess with these old builds, just let me know...

    Someone more techno-saavy than I could sift through the Gooble
    restrictions for the beta 2K progress. I DIMMly remember some progress,
    but there seems to have been a sticking point.

    When it seemdt to hit a brick wall, the efforts trailed off...
