- I was wrong. I got some bad information from a DEC technical person
- who was here a while back to show us the Alpha box. His firm claim was 100
- Mbits/second. He blew it.
- An engineer at DEC relates that the number should be 100 MBytes/sec.
- The person further indicated that actual measured was over 90% of this
- figure.

- So TurboChannel is about twice as fast as our best SBUS efforts at SRC.
