A new benchmarking program? For vintage computers running DOS? Really?
Yes, really. But there's more to it than that, as it's meant to help out retrogamers and emulator authors as well. Rather than lose my audience with a long post, I spent the weekend building up a website that should answer your questions and hopefully provide some insight into other benchmarking tools you may have used in the past. The benchmark is called TOPBENCH, and the website is here: http://dosbenchmark.wordpress.com/
If anyone would like to help out, please read the site a bit, download the benchmarking stub from the downloads page, and email me the output (or, for a more interesting group discussion, post it here). And I'm certainly open to suggestions too.
