   The timings for the 16Mhz M68000 vs the VAX were probably correct.
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?
