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? :-) :-) :-) :-) -- Neil Webber / Palladium Data Systems / (No longer confused with Jordan Marsh) gilaabpdywyc! / Marlboro MA, 01752 {linus!alliant, harvard!cfisun}!palladium!nw
