I can't recall having ever seen a posting of Fish Disk (Rick Spanbauer)
benchmark results for the 40MB Pal Jr. disk, so here they are.  Note that the
40MB drive has a faster seek time than the 20MB drive, hence the numbers come
out a little different:

        File creations:         10/sec
        File deletions:         28/sec
        Directory scan:         41/sec
        Seek/read:              79/sec
        Read    512 byte file:  40960 bytes/sec
        Write   512 byte file:  15065 bytes/sec
        Read   4096 byte file:  59578 bytes/sec
        Write  4096 byte file:  22598 bytes/sec
        Read   8192 byte file:  59578 bytes/sec
        Write  8192 byte file:  23616 bytes/sec
        Read  32768 byte file:  60963 bytes/sec
        Write 32768 byte file:  24499 bytes/sec

Having a hard disk and some real memory (3.5MB) has made my Amiga a new machine!
(It has also "initialized" my bank account).  Now, if I could just teach
Soundscape to not crash just because it wasn't started from its copy-protected
floppy.  What was the number of that pirate bulletin board? :-) :-) :-) :-)
