 In what sense have you found the GS+TWGS+FPE to be faster than a 20MHz
386(with a 387 I assume) as well as being faster than the MacII? Can 
you provide some standard benchmarks(eg.MIPS or MFlops or...)? Which
compilers are you using?Do you know whether the TWGS has a problem
with the ROM3.0 GS's?Finally,is there a 16 bit Fortran for the GS?
(forgot:is the data path between the cpu and the FPE a 16 bit one or
8,because if it is 8 then your results hard to accept given the 32
bit data path between the cpu's and the math chips on both the MacII and
a 386).
