That just shows how bad the CMS card is. The speed difference
between the Apple High Speed SCSI card and the Apple Rev. C
SCSI card is quite dramatic too.
When Apple introduced the Apple High Speed SCSI card, it had
a hard drive filled with a full screen (320x200 mode) video of a
Star Wars battle scene. The Apple High Speed SCSI card pulled
the video off the hard drive in real time at 32 frames per second
(980k per second). That was quite impressive compared to what
the Rev. C card could do.
