Compaq Portable II benchmark

[Wormetti]

Another system, another test. I'll video some games running on it later, I already have World Games running. Any suggestions for software or tests? I'll replace the battery and run the Compaq software to try and get the hard drive running. I think it's an MFM drive plugged into an MFM to IDE adapter, so I can just remove the adapter and plug in a modern IDE drive or CF card.

It is IDE, I run a 20GB in my Portable II.

Something like Ontrack or Anydrive are almost required to run another drive in it though, there's not many disk options in the Compaq BIOS (or even the aftermarket AMI BIOS I run in mine). I use Ontrack on mine, it gets past the 520mb barrier and lets me use the full 20gb of the HD (albeit in several 2gb chunks).
