Yes, exactly, which is why I posted this, as speeds with a device like this should be much better than the speed of a device plugged into the floppy drive interface or the parallel port. I'd say it would be as fast as the Amiga can work with the data, as I doubt a plan 7MHz 68000 could work at the full speed the Zorro bus can work at. And neither the 68000 or the Zorro bus would max out the speeds of most of the devices likely to be used with it.
