I second that. Tried to use a 6501-70 as file server, and got myself a grea=
t deal of work to know
in the end the box was not supposed to be used like that.

An Intel atom mini itx board, powered by similar Atom CPU got faster result=
s, but a huge margin.
For me, the issue is with saturation bus related.

I would not recommend using it, unless its a really small file server.
