That's not entirely true.  I've seen an older Linux kernel floating
around with MCA support.  There might even be a newer one.  Perhaps
what was done there could be copied by FreeBSD - if there's really
enough interest.  I don't have much programming ability, but I have a
Model 76 (486/66) on which I'd be happy to test things.
