[comp.sys.amiga.tech] How fast PARNET access?

Can anyone give me an idea how fast PARNET is and how long a cable it
will work with?  I am thinking of using a 50ft cable to connect two
A1000's so that my compiler can access a hard disk across the NET: device,
thus effectively adding a hard disk to the second computer.  Would accessing
the hard disk this way be faster than using a floppy drive?
