Re: G.Garland's query about faster 730 unibus
I don't believe the nebula unibus per-say is faster (though the 11/34 unibus
was known to be slower than the 11/70's). I believe the reason you are seeing
better unibus performance is that the Nebula can do burst-mode i/o
(it locks down the bus for several back to back transfers). This was not
available on the STAR (11/780).
