I doubt m68k machines will slow down because of NBD. The very first

Running Debian/m68k was the reason why I started doing NBD in the

place :-)
Erm! Veto! ;)
On Amigas I get 2-4.5 MB/s from SCSI disks, whereas I rarely got more
than 400 kB/s via network. Even when I would, all Amiga network cards I
know and own are limited to 10 Mbps, so you'll never go beyond 1.2 MB/s.
I happened to get 700-900 kB/s under AmigaOS, though.
But yes, on Macs SCSI was always slow, afair... ;-)
