Due to an editing error in "Adieu, Pentafluge...Hello Cyrus"
(August), we described Jerry Pournelle's new Cyrix 6x86 machine as having an "EIDE CD-ROM drive running off an Adaptec Ultra SCSI board." We meant
to say it has an EIDE CD-ROM drive, and a 4-GB Fast SCSI-2 hard drive running off an Adaptec Ultra SCSI board.
Due to an editing error in "Future Watch"
(Bits, August, page 28), we wrote: "Because it runs at only 70 nanoseconds, EDO RAM incurs wait states at higher speeds." The sentence should have said: When running at 70 nanoseconds, EDO RAM incurs an additional wait state in systems with 66-MHz or faster bus frequency.
In our news story "Cyrix 6x86 Matches Pentium"
(Bits, September), we neglected to include the SYSmark/32 benchmark results for a baseline Cyrix 6x86-based PC, without 64-MB
cache. That number, 159, is comparable to the score of a 200-MHz Pentium Dell, which pegged a 161.
