Agreed. I have two production systems in my conversion shop; the quickest one is
a 1 GHz machine with 2 or 3 EISA slots for special controllers.

For floppies, QIC80 and Rhomat tapes, I use a 486/33. QIC80 and Rhomat are
adressed as drive B:, with a nice switch between the tapes and the floppy cabel.
