Just my price ;)

Bus clock I assume?  Dont forget SBus is 32 bits (4 bytes), so
thats really 100MB/s over the bus maximum!!  I'm sure the SCSI
controller has the brains to shuffle the data about
efficiently.

I'll leave a crappy 434Mb disk in it for local swap and use it
as an X network workstation.  Time to find a CG3/6 somewhere
then and read the Net booting faq ;)
