Good network file sharing performance on an SE/30? :lol: Certainly not.
The question is about good network performance on something fast like a IIfx or Quadra (or even a PowerMac). We already know we can push about 12MB/s through a JackHammer or SiliconExpress IV... if we could get similar performance (say, 7+ MB/s) out of a modern file server accessed through an AsanteFast 100Mbps ethernet card, that would be way more convenient for storing and exchanging large amounts of data.
(IIRC, normal NuBus's fastest transfer speed is about 20MB/s... an optimized card in an 840AV could take advantage of a 40MB/s mode, at least in theory.)
