Their's a lot of crappy CD-Rom benchmarks programs floating around.  Some 
are bundled with applications such as CorelSCSI!, etc. Others do a quick 
check and measure data transfer rates or access speeds.  Most are 
completely meaningless because they do not measure CPU utilitisation!

The CD benchmark that comes on MPC Wizard 3.0 is not bad...but it's a 
Windows apps...so you don't get DOS speeds tested.

The best and recommended CD-Rom Benchmark comes from Landmark Research 
International Corp,  These guys have been creating benchmarks of CPU 
speeds since the old XT days.  Their CD benchmark only comes on CD-Rom, 
tests everything, enables you to create a database of different CD-Rom 
Drives, and is called CD Check.

Just thought I'll get a two bobs worth!

Catch ya on the bandwidth...
