Well if you want to know how fast your parralelle port goes you
need to know how both end handle it...
If you are using a 386 you will get more than 69k for sure.
But doing that is not to good for the system operation, and
if you already have a DMA scsi port...
I never tested the parallel port higher than 60k with a 68000 at
7mhz, but both end count for the troughtput performance.
