Pics won't help.  The 800/840 are most closely related to the 650, although
the 660AV shares the AV moniker and some hardware (but not the appetite for
60ns RAM).

>800/840... What I'd like to know (this may qualify as most stupid): Is
>60ns or 80ns faster??? And what does RPM have to do with HD speed???

60ns is a smaller number, thus a shorter access time, thus faster.

RPM has very little to do with overall HD speed but has a lot to do with
seek time and access time - the faster the drive spins, the shorter time
elapsed between a specific sector on the disk coming around again, and the
faster the drive can find a random piece of data.
