   20MHz/4 =
5MHz = standard ST506 data rate.  
Right.  It's the right rate for an 8" disk.  

 Nope, it's not!  the right rate for 8" Winchesters is 4.34 MHz! 
Damn!  Typo.  I *know* that the 8" disk transfer rate is below 5Mhz.  The
recent coverage of the WD-1001's were quite explicit in that regard.
