While the 80/40 Mhz 840AV is the fastest stock Mac68k ever made, it 
will have an exaggerated example of the "local disks slower than NFS 
mounts" issue mentioned with the 630 above when used with NetBSD. 
This is because there is no support yet for the DMA SCSI engine, so 
drive access is quite slow. There was work being done on it, but I 
don't believe it's in a useful form yet.

Hope this helps,
Mike
