Not quite... they're faster than the 100MHz 21064 systems (DEC3000m300L
and Alphastation 200 4/100)! The 233MHz Multia was about the same speed
for our code as the 150MHz 3000m300.

I think they're cute too. They would be *so* much more useful if SRM
could boot from IDE though - if only I could replace those stupid SCSI
laptop drives (most of which have by now failed) with IDE ones...
that's the biggest failing to me.
