I dunno, I was just going off old infoworld and macworld articles from '91 & '92 that I found while checking the release date of RocketShare (which appears to be 2 months after this article was published). I could be misinterpreting. Google books is giving me fits right now, but...

InfoWorld October 21 1991 article titled "Apple's latest products get third party support" describes "Saturn V, the System 7.0 enhancement, lets users add as many as four of the 68040-based Radius Rocket boards to Apple's Quadra 700 and 900."

Then Macworld Volume 9 from 1992 has an article describing the newly released RocketShare, saying it was formerly called Saturn V.

Anyway, I didn't mean to derail the discussion onto rockets, I was just curious which mode they were benchmarking the Rocket in. It looks like regular RocketWare, as an accelerator instead of as a separate RocketShare instance. RocketWare seemed to cause me a ton of incompatibility and stability problems with my Rocket 25i in a IIx. RocketShare is totally the way to go.
