The NeXTstation Colour has interleaved memory which allows it to run at close to 0 wait state whereas other NeXT systems run with 1 or more wait states. This can account for 10-20% improvement in performance. I wonder why NeXT doesn't use the interleave memory scheme in the NeXTstation and the Cube! :-) Joe jchin@van-bc.wimsey.bc.ca -- ************************************************************** * "Kill the body and the head will die" (Hunter S.
