  I have a 2/120 and a large pile of spare boards.  I used to have a
2/170 that I used as my main file server, oh, about nine years ago I
guess.  It achieved amazing levels of performance considering the
speed of the processor.

  It's a 10MHz 68010, if memory serves...should be around 1MIPS or a
tad less.
