Looking for volunteers to help test a new benchmark

Ran TOPBSTUB and got the following result for my Redstone PC/XT rsv20-1/2/3 10 MHz Turbo clone running a 70108-10 processor on a PIM-TB10-Z motherboard and EGA:

[UIDA799766E]
MemoryTest=1776
OpcodeTest=835
VidramTest=1535
MemEATest=922
3DGameTest=886
Score=8
CPU=Intel 8088
CPUspeed=10 MHz
BIOSinfo=ERSO/BIOS 2.39 (C) 1986 (01/01/81, rev. 0)
MachineModel=0000
BIOSdate=19810101
BIOSCRC16=A799
VideoSystem=EGA
VideoAdapter=EGA
Machine=PC/XT

The above is correct apart from the processor ID of course. Running from a 720k floppy. The real time test listed its performance similar to the Commodore PC10-III listed earlier.

Pulled the front facia off and repositioned the Turbo button and LED back to where they should be. The turbo off results are below:

486DX/33 in a Compuadd 433
I cannot tell the exact chip because it is under a heatsink and not easy to get to.

Everything works with "-s" but I need to enter everything manually
 
Run the benchmark with "-s" to skip the CPU detection tests, and then run Benchmark->Realtime Benchmarking and see if your system matches a model in the database. If the match is very close (or exact) then that might be a good approximation as to what your chip is.

Without your system on my desk, there's no way I can troubleshoot the CPU detection routine, sorry.
 
Got an extra point by putting in a VGA card on my XT clone:

Wasn't aware we could just post these in here... Ah, well, here's another chip that I think isn't in the list yet;

Code: 
[UID530C8933F]
MemoryTest=17
OpcodeTest=7
VidramTest=98
MemEATest=3
3DGameTest=5
Score=426
CPU=IDT/Centaur Tech. WinChip C6 (C6-PSME200GA)
CPUspeed=200 MHz
BIOSinfo=Copyright (C) 1984-98, Award Software, Inc. (06/02/98, rev. 0)
BIOSdate=19980602
BIOSCRC16=530C
VideoSystem=VGA
VideoAdapter=ATI Rage Pro 128 (32MB)
Machine=IDT WinChip Clone
Description=VIA MVP3 Chipset, 256MB SDRAM at 66MHz, Chaintech 5AGM2-E150 Motherboard
Submitter=High Treason (HighTreason610)

I thought WinChips were meant to be rubbish? Seems to beat up on an equivalent clocked K6 in 16-Bit code at least though I have a feeling 32-Bit will be a different story.
 
You can just post them in here but I'd prefer if you emailed them to me instead :) I'll add it to the next release, thanks.

Winchip is indeed rubbish, for 32-bit code. I guess they have a speedy real-mode 16-bit core.
 
As I was doing a round of backup battery replacements on my pile of hp200lxs today, I decided to give topbench a whirl...

I booted straight to dos from a cf card in a pcmcia adapter thus bypassing the inbuilt shell.

Unfortunately topbench, topstub, and dstub (latest versions) all hardlock the lxs requiring a factory reset!

dstub -s gives the following runtime error:

201 @ 0797:015F

After consulting dstub.map and my old borland pascal runtime error .tpu's source I guess this is a:

Fatal range check error in VADAPTER.PAS?
 
Indeed, good sleuthing! Without your hardware I can't tell exactly what is wrong, but I've created a new version for you to test that adds a "-v" command-line parameter that skips only the video detection tests:

ftp://ftp.oldskool.org/pub/TOPBENCH/TOPBV38A.ZIP

Please give this a shot and let me know if it works. Don't use -s unless it locks up the system. I'm also curious to know if the system detection picks up a 200LX and if the CPU detection picks up an 80186 which IIRC is what is in your system.

Click to expand...

topbench, topbench -v and topbench -v -s now all return a runtime error 200 (div by 0?) at 114e:17de.
