An initial value investigation of the hydromagnetic 
convection flow of a viscous electrically conducting fluid through 
a porous medium in a rotating parallel plate channel has been made 
using boundary-layer-type equations. The exact solution of the governing 
equations is evaluated and the structure of the different boundary 
layers formed has been discussed in detail. The ultimate quasi-steady 
state velocity and temperature fields are numerically computed for 
various values of the governing parameters. Also the shear stress 
on the plates and the Nusselt numbers have been computed.
