Actually, the slowest is the 4/110, which rates at 7 SunMIPS (just a 
fraction slower than an SLC, which is around 8). 4/110's seem to be 
extremely rare here in Australia, but they are useful upgrades to 3/60 
systems since they just slot into the same pizza-box case that a 3/60 
does (which is why I have one).

The 4/280 (my server here) rates at 10 SunMIPS, the 4/380 at 16, and the
4/480 at 22. These are all VME-based servers, apart from the 4/380 which
is not a real server, but masquerades as one. 

Regards,

Craig.
