[comp.periphs] I/O bandwidth of PC/AT/386 ?

dan@rna.UUCP (Dan Ts'o) (01/28/88)

	Does anyone have an estimate of the usable I/O bandwidth of a PC/AT
(or 386 PC), based on real experience ? In particular, throughput from DMA
parallel I/O user device to PC memory. Also what is the propensity for
data lates ?

	Has anyone had experience with VME to PC-bus converters in this
regard ?

	Thanks.
