Where:

	"PCI/Q4.0" refers to a 4GB Quantum Atlas (34300S).  7200RPM,
		8.5ms seek (not access).

	"PCI/1280" refers to a 1.2GB Quantum Fireball 1280.  5400RPM,
		12ms seek (not access).

	"PCI/L730" refers to a 700MB Quantum Lightning 730.  4500RPM,
		11ms seek (not access).

All of these were done on the same system:

	P133
	Asus P55T2P4 motherboard w/512K PB cache
	64MB 60ns parity FPM DRAM
	DTC 3130B SCSI controller (815-based)
