Benchmark tests on a 386DX-33 with 8MB ram running UMB-DRVR 5.22. All
times in minutes : seconds format. The ramdrive used was Vadim V.
Vlasov's Combi-Disk version 1.13. About 1M extended memory and 600K
conventional memory was available. The test consisted of 1 Megabyte data
in 70 (random) files varying in size from about 170K to 80 bytes.
(Floppy disks reformatted between each test.)

Scoring works as follows: 11 points for the fastest time, down to 0
points for the slowest time.


* Benchmark tests performed independantly by D.J. Greeff.
** FFIT 1.61 is unable to copy to anything other than floppies.
