One thing I'm >mulling doing is to try and move forward musbus or it's equivalent MUSBUS is now quite old - I believe it was developed around 1981. I have a paper Ken McDonell presented at AUUG'91 when he discussed some of its shortcomings at that time [and there are probably more now]. I've also heard him state (possibly during that presentation) that MUSBUS was designed to benchmark systems around 1 MIPS (ie a VAX 11/780), and results obtained on a `current' (ie 5-10 years old now) system probably reflect bottlenecks in MUSBUS, rather than the system under test. [Note that a later developent of MUSBUS - KENBUS - formed part of the SPEC's SDM (System Developent Multitasking) 1.x benchmark suite].
