The sustained device-level transfer rate with a Quantum 52
LPS and an A2630 (!), as tested at bsc's booth by one of
their software-engineers (Stephan von Krawczynski) using
their own benchmark during the AmiExpo '90 in Cologne, was
~1050 Kbytes/sec for reads (1-meg chunks). Using the same
harddisk and the same benchmark, a GVP Series-II on a
standard 68000-based A500 came in at ~1150 Kbytes/sec.
