In the May '86 issue of BYTE, Webster shows benchmarks
comparing the Mac, Amiga, and ST. The disk i/o results
look like this:
Mac Plus ST Amiga
Write 2.3 (sec) 30.3 7.3
Read (seq) 1.1 15.9 5.1
Read (random) 4.6 14.2 17.8
Is this possible? How can the ST disk i/o be so much
worse than the other two and what is the explantion?
