  Hmmm guess its time to throw in the speeds of heimat, here goes....
  Keep in mind these times are not so much for comparing machine against
  machine (or set up against set up) but rather to show the difference
  between the stock 68000, a (CBM) 68020, and a 68020 using SetCPU V1.5
  and its "FastROM" option.

  Hardware is the CBM 2090A conteoller and a Control Data 40meg 5.25"
  half height ST-506 drive. AmigaDOS V1.3 using the Fast Filing System.
  The cpu set up is listed before each set of results.
