Its not the burst rate, its the bit rate (or byte rate wrt to parallel
SCSI). Its the maximum rate that bits that can be transferred over the
wire. Whatever protocol runs on the wire subtracts from the bit rate.
There there's the question of utilisation, there will be times at which
nothing's actually happing on the bus (depending on the protocol).
