    I have a customer who is about purchase (3) XMI base DEMFAs, and (4)
    Turbochannel based DEFTAs ... and will be shortly purchasinng a whole
    bunch of PCI based ALPHAs with DEFPAs. I have performance specs from 
    the Digital Technical Journals on both the DEMFAs and the DEFTAs. Are 
    these update to date specs or should I be using other ones. 
    
    Also an earlier note provided DEFPA performance info... Is there a more 
    verbose version similar to the Digital Technical Journal ones... for
    the DEFPA PCI cards...
    
    any help would be appreciated

    We don't have anything more verbose.  We do have a few press articles
    that mention performance.  Network Computing (1/15/95) had an article
    on DEFPA which showed excellent performance over a SysKonnect EISA
    card.  There are some other articles in the pipeline that (hopefully)
    will show similar results.
