How fast can images be loaded into a Personal Iris?

[Jim Berry]

I was approached recently by someone who wanted to be able to display
8 bit 512X512 images from disk at a rate of about 10 per second.  Would
this be a big/middle/no sweat/not likely deal using a typical Personal
Iris setup (if I had one I wouldn't have to ask :-) ?  What kind of data
rate can you achieve, and what do you have to do to get it?

PS - Thanks to those who responded about booting the 4D without a console.
No problem.  Now I just have to convice Alias that there is such a thing as
the 4D Owner's Manual and that they should send us one (I guess that's what
we get for not buying direct from SGI).
