If I remember correctly, the 2560 could read about 300 cards per minute.
Compare that to the 2540 (I think) being able to read about 1,000 CPM.
Punching on the 2560 was much slower, but I can't remember. I spent many a
day sorting decks of cards and running them through the 2560.
We also used the Mod 20 as an RJE station. We rented time on one of the
first 370 computers, the one without the DAT box, and ran some monthly
reports from it.

I don't know what the 2560's rated speed was, but I don't think anybody
would have called it "fast". The Mod 20 could also have a 2501 attached.
THAT was fast.
