I was wrong. I got some bad information from a DEC technical person 
who was here a while back to show us the Alpha box. His firm claim was 100 
Mbits/second. He blew it. 
An engineer at DEC relates that the number should be 100 MBytes/sec.
The person further indicated that actual measured was over 90% of this 
figure. 

So TurboChannel is about twice as fast as our best SBUS efforts at SRC.
