    Hi Andrew, I have one. How should I proceed to benchmark it?
    On a IIgs with Benchmarked please. Use a 16MB image to cut out after the 4K test.
    Please add your results to the spreadsheet.
    Dan may also be doing this, so if you find his results there, think of a combination he hasn’t tried (e.g with or without accelerator or different speeds, or different micro sd media?)
    Thanks!

    Actually, it is an 8MB image.
    I have uploaded here in case it helps: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eQlhr7m55ccqB4TkRCuorqhPHSoYTiXo/view?usp=sharing
    It includes the Benchmarked software, so you can boot a regular 6.0.4 image
    to start and then execute benchmarked from this image.

    Hi Andrew,

    Please add your results to the spreadsheet.

    I can't follow which spreadsheet is meant here. Is that some private thing?
    I'm asking because I wonder if it would make sense to add results for A2retroNET.

    Regards,
    Oliver

    Benchmarked has a spreadsheet to track results. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AiZOz6GbGMJudGVoR0hiWDRXMlZfSnRtZUVjWXMwNWc#gid=0

    Benchmarked has a spreadsheet to track results. [...]

    I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for pointing out :-)

    Does anyone have a Dan II Controller?
    https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/126948065563

    I’d like to have a benchmark comparison for it.

    Regards
    Andrew

    I haven't got one, nor had I heard of it. For others that are
    interested (perhaps you already knew about these), there's an
    applefritter post on it that links to the project's github page:

    - https://www.applefritter.com/content/dan-sd-card-disk-controller
    - https://github.com/profdc9/Apple2Card

    I'd be interested to know the throughput of it as well.

    I have some more time because the whole issue is now in review. My
    contribution is laid out, but a minor update could still be possible.

    Results for the Dan ][ have been added to the spreadsheet. Thanks to
    whomever was responsible for this. I have updated my submission to include them.

    It seems to be among the slower solutions. I think for a II+ or IIe it is quite nice, given the availability of the components and the menu based

    Thank you for the results. I have included them. For the IIgs, the MicroDrive/Turbo is a decent option in the same price point.
    The UltimateDrive will blow everything away for speed, but the price has
    not yet been revealed.

    I was really looking forward to your results so I could compare them to the other devices in the Juiced GS article I am working on. My deadline
    approaches. Are you able to try this soon?

    Thanks

    Unfortunately not. But I would still be interested to see the results when
    you are able to provide them.

    Thanks
