10 Mb/s is more than you can push over the Apple II expansion bus 1 MB/s=
8 Mb/s, and that's assuming you can do DMA transfers with one byte per clock
cycle (the Apple DMA SCSI card does this only in the IIGS; in the IIe, it
falls back to one byte every other cycle). Add in protocol overhead and the
speed drops even further.
Still, it ought to at least be faster than the ~230 kb/s that LocalTalk
delivers (whether through the built-in ports on a IIGS or a Workstation Card
in a IIe).
