Gosh -- I didn't mean to impugn the Apple ][.  What I meant was that
Apple used a serial interface to the floppy drives way back in the
dawn of time, and somehow managed to get as good -- you say even
better -- performance than ``modern'' super high-speed-ten-VAX-
equivalents-on-your-desk-workstations.
