The difference backing up a 32 MB card via serial/PC 115000and
AppleTalk/Ethernet
was exactly 4 minutes and the measured speed was less than 230000 for the G3
still more than double the time than using card/card backup.
Dont know why, but any Mac from Quadra 900 to G3 didnt like the 32MB card-
needed 2-4 attempts anytime I tried. The first full working backup I got on
a PC ..
(beside the card/card backup that really works nice and safe)
