Can anybody quote specs on the drives?

Two terminals in addition to the windowing console?
The machine just dithers, and no wonder. If this is the ($5000) 512K/10MB
version, paging overhead will eat the machine alive. VM and slow disks
*don't mix well*.
Q: Is the 20MB drive faster? As fast as the PCAT's (which is acceptable)?
Very Qrious,
