    Divide this one by 2 to get the correct transfer-rates.

When copying from ram: to ram: between two A1200 (50MHz030s) with ICard
and a singler cable, 2 Ts and 2 terminators, we've had transfers up to 
230-240k/sec. Remember this were under ideal situations.
In dayly use I hardly ever see anything higher than 140k/sec.
Besides this I've had lots of probs with ICard crashing my system :(
