I used to run my A1000 from the HD of my A3000 a while back and it seemed 
to get pretty good speed for loading programs over ParNet. I don't have 
any exact numbers in bytes/sec, but it the speed was in between hard drive 
& floppy drive speed. It was definitely closer to HD speed than floppy 
though, for sure. This is really a great use of ParNet. My old A1000 never 
has had a hard drive in it. You can even set up a special WB floppy to 
mount Parnet at boot-up and transfer all of it's assigns through the NET: 
(ie; SYS:, C:, etc.). It sure beats running from floppies. :-)
