And, if you have the memory, you can run two copies of IBeM: the
closest thing to multitasking that MS-DOS has ever come ;-)
	Norton Utilities SI (v4.x I think) gives a rating of 1.3 on my
32 MHz 68030 -- that's the 68000 version, because the 68020 version
has problems with my GVP board.  A rating of 1.3 indicates performance
equivalent to a 6 MHz XT.
	Incidentally, I ran it on a stock A500.  SI gave 0.1 and I
laughed my head off watching it run ... no, crawl ... Good software,
but you need something more than a 7 MHz 68000 to get something out
of it.
