OS X has more disk I/O calls than OS 9.x in everyday use, so OS X benefits from faster hard drives more than OS 9.x (or 8.x). Speaking of OS X hard drive speed, has anyone seen a OS X version of TimeDrive? It was a good rough benchmark to see the reletive speed of drives in OS 8.x-OS 9.x. It runs in Classic on OS X, but I think Classic skews the data. Any other disk speed test utilities for OS X? -- Charles Dostale System Administrator Silver Oaks Communications http://www.silveroaks.com 824 17th Street Moline IL USA 61265 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 309-797-9898 -- Unsupported OS X is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Unsupported OS X list info <http://lowendmac.com/lists/unsupported.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive <http://www.mail-archive.com/unsupportedosx%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
