Does anybody know if such a thing exists?


The only disk performance program I can think of off the top of my
head is DiskTimer.  I'm not sure if it is on any of the FTP sites but
it will most likely be on the Time In A Bottle CD set (and therefore
on Syndicomm's members only FTP server).

I grabbed a copy of Disktimer. Interesting but limited to GS/OS and there appears to be no way of telling it which drive to test - it tests the one it is run from.

I basically want something that will

a) present a list of PRODOS devices (with size in blocks)
b) let me select one or more devices to test
c) allow me to specify the start, end and/or number of blocks to be read
d) time the reads and present that back as K bytes per second

I am wondering if something was ever published in Nibble to do this sounds like it would have been a typical submission idea.

If not guess I have something else to add to my todo list
