I recently purchased a 386SX computer with an IDE 80 meg Miniscribe drive, a 
a 1:1 interleave factor, 0.3 wait state, 2 meg RAM.  In running some 
diagnostic tests, I got the following results:
  MIPS   1.91
  Coretest - Data Transfer Rate 460 Kb/sec; Ave. seek 18.9; Track-Track Seek 
Seek 6.2; Overall performance 5.654.  Speed 18.8 Mz.
Can someone please tell me:  (1)  Are these good or bad results?  (2)  For
the bad results, what may be the limiting factor?  (3)  Any suggestions on 
how to improve the performance?  Thanks for any help you can offer.
