/// New CyReL CaTTamaran Benchmarks:
------------------------------------

We've just managed to get the CaTTamaran working
with  the older  motherboard revisions. Up until
now we stated it could only be used with  Rev. G
and up. As the following figures will show,  the
CyReL  CaTTamaran  _CAN_ be  used with the older
boards.

Please note  the comments  added to each  set of
figures.

The following  four tests have been performed on
a  'clean  machine'.  No  acceleration  programs
(like  NVDI  or  ROMRAM).  Just the plain system
booted from disk:

Here are the figures for TT-Medium:
