No, Mike, the CLOCK is 30 MHz, which is divided by two to get the 15 MHz speed.

Actually, a full MM/1 system with the CPU board and I/O board runs at around
1000 Drystones, while an Amiga (according to the Dhrystone ratings I have here)
runs around 350 Dhrystones. That seems too slow to be real, but I guess the
Amiga has no choice but to share memory with the graphics chips, causing the
CPU to wait.

Does that reflect the truth, Kevin Darling? Does this mean that an MM/1 will be
up to 2.5 times faster than an Amiga?

Paul
