Are you sure you don't mean Turbochannel? To my knowledge, nobody outside IBM ever used MCA, and in particular, not Digital in their workstations. I could be wrong, of course. TC, OTOH, were used in the 3000 series, among others.
Last time I looked, Linux didn't support TC, and unless you're willing to do the coding yourself, it probably never will. One of the *BSDs supported the bus, but at the cost of something else, graphics, I think. You might want to check it out.
