Yesterday @tom_B mentioned he couldn't attach his DB25 BlueSCSI test jig and use the ADB port on his LC at the same time - so he couldn't use it to do his normal testing with SCSI Director 4 Pro. Some discussion was had about using AppleScript to open and run the tests on the app, but I thought with my new found skills in with ThinkC - and just keeping it simple to an ANSI-C "console" program, I could get it done in just a few hours, and well, I did!
Introducing SpeedTestr (whats in a name, I just needed one!) It is a VERY simple ANSI-C app that creates a file with a pattern, verifies the pattern. It tests the read and write speed (though there needs to be some optimization here, it's shouldn't be used as a benchmark yet)
If all tests were successful (creating a 2kb to 16mb file) it will shutdown. If there is an error it will halt and show the error on the screen.
Not much ToolBox here, just ANSI-C.
(Running in mini vmac - so IO is pretty fast)
Leanings:
Including "ANSI" (full, not small) in your app will pop open a console that will display all your printf's
Think Reference's types for Get Time, etc were wrong, I had to try/use an unsigned long vs long - though this is just second accuracy so I had to use ticks.
TickCount() is 1/60th of a second, so good enough for this use.
ShutDwnPower() will shutdown you computer!
The project is hosed on AmendHub here https://amendhub.com/nulleric/SpeedTestr and code/binaries are attached to this thread.
