	Worstation speed comparisons:

	DataGeneral Aviion 
                      (88000,16.7MHz)	17MIPs/$8K = 	2.1
	DecStation 3100 (MIPS, 16.7)	14MIPS/$12K = 	1.2
	Sun SPARC (SPARC, ?)		12MIPS/$10K = 	1.2
	Iris  ( , )			
	MacIIci (68030, 16.7)			
	MacIIx (68030, 12)		4MIPS/$8K = 	0.5
	Apollo 4500 ( , )		7MIPS/$19K =	0.4


	These numbers come from 2/27/89 Electronic Engineering times
and ComputerWorld. 

	Can someone fill in the missing numbers? What happens
if you soup up the IIci with a cache card?

	Does anyone have the AIM Tech. Workstation Benchmarks Suite
V for these machines?

	Is Apple going to introduce an 88000 model?
