Does anyone have or know where I can get a listing of the MIPS and MFLOPS for each type of macintosh computer? Also are there any SPECmarks ratings for macs running A/UX? Any info would be appreciated, no matter how trivial.

And does anyone have any of these benchmarks for old computers? It would be interesting to compare a VAX, or a PDP-10, or an ENIAC (:-)) with today's machines. And how about calculators? Does an HP-15C blow away ENIAC for floating point? This posting is not a joke. I would like to see estimates of what all these machines would do on these benchmarks. Tim Smith

By that reference, of course, a VAX 11/780 is precisely 1 MIP. -- Rich
