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...
