	According to Symbolics [this was when I was at AAAI], this MacIvory has
	a performance of a 3620 machine. Is the slowdown due to the Memory board
	residing on a Nubus slot ?

    The slowdown is due to the disks available for the Mac II being much
    slower than the disks Symbolics now sells on its 36xx line.  We expect
    this problem to resolve itself as the disk manufacturers realize that
    there is a market for fast disks.

Well, that shoots the whole MacIvory down for me (rats!!).  We have a
3620 and it's slower than molasses.
