I had put an accelerator in the box, so it's a speedy 7Mhz, as opposed to
the standard 2.8Mhz or the slow - selectable for compatibility with //e and
//c software - 1Mhz.  I even had unix on it - GNO/ME.  Unfortunately I
couldn't win a DSW, GNO/ME didn't have /dev/zero.  There was a DSW seeing
how long it'll take your slowest system to do something along the lines of

% time dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null count=1000000
