DiskSpeed v1.05 - Hard Drive Access Speed Timer
Written By Josh Reznick (c) 1991 Digital Skyline
______________________________________________________________________________
[NOTES] Basically there is nothing really to Explain about DiskSpeed. All
you do is simply run the program "DISKSPD". The Program Will Check
the amount of Cylinders you have on your drive, and test an
Appropriate amount. If you want to test Quickly, you can just hit
a key, and it will about the full test, but you will still get
an estimated read out. To get somewhat of an accurate reading, wait
until at least four clicks before stopping. The most accurate reading
will be given when the program finishes automatically. The Program
will then give you the Drive Speed in Milliseconds (ms) which is the
common Hard Disk speed testing unit. DiskSpeed will also work on
floppy drives.

[USES] What should I use this for? you ask. Well for starters, this can
protect you against fraud. A little far fetched? Mabye. But, it is
common of people to sell you a drive which is slower than advertised,
thinking "ah, the stupid enduser will never know the difference". Also,
If you use your hard disk alot, it slows down after a while because
of data being stored all over the drive in different parts. That's
where a disk optimizer comes in. You can use this to tell you when
it's time to break out the ol' Optimizer!
