	You must be thinking of the BMS-100 board which we are no longer
shipping. The BMS-200 has replaced it and has a 1.6 Megabyte/second sustained
data rate.  One CDC Wren SCSI drive that a customer brought by had a transfer
rate of about 700+ Kbytes/s. Both the Atari's host adapter used in the SH204
and ICD's host adapter transfer data at about the same rate.
