One important fact everyone seems to be overlooking in comparing
the LC and IIsi.  The LC motherboard has a 16-bit data bus.  So
don't assume that just because the IIsi is 20-MHz and the LC is 16,
IIsi memory accesses will be only 25% faster.  Because of the width
of the data bus, they can actually be as much as 2* 20/16= 2.5 times
faster.
