The X-ray properties of the two galactic microquasars GRS 1915/+105 and GRO J1655/-40 are rather perculiar. In particular, GRS 1915/+105 displays a richness of variability never observed in any other source. Nevertheless, many characteristics of these two sources are not unlike those expected from black-hole candidates on the basis of other known sources. I discuss these similarities and suggest that the connection between these and other more ``conventional'' systems can potentially lead to a better understanding of accretion around black holes.
