If you notice, the Motorola M68000 clocked at 16Mhz had no wait states. Presumably, a M68000 clocked at 8Mhz opitimized to have no wait states would run exactly 1/2 as fast as the Motorola timings for a 16Mhz processor or about .87 of a VAX. (observation care of lanl-a/jhf) What I want to know is what is a "VAX"? A 780?, 750?, or a 730?
