The SBC driver has never worked when I try it on my IIvx. I think we're not
doing something correctly on the IIvx when it comes to SCSI. 
But any who... about this cpu delay factor:

If I remember correctly I believe the CPU speed factor is just the
time_dbra variable passed in from MacOS. Bascially, at boot one of the
things the ROMs do is a tight dbra loop for a while and then store
the time it took to do that in a low-mem global. This value is
used presumably for some purpose (prob. something to do with the
floppy disk or something). However, it is a poor indicator of
speed, as I remember, since the code is executed out of ROM and if
you run the same code out of RAM you get a different value.

I think there's a blurb about it in IM:Operating Systems Utilities.
