- BENCH21 -- Processor Speed Benchmark Test -- Version 1.30
- =========================================================
-
- The following Tests 1 to 4 were written in assembly language and
- take about 10 seconds each on a standard IBM PC. Tests 5 and 6
- were written in Microsoft C 3.00. A higher "Speed Index" means
- a faster execution. Variations of a couple percent are normal.

- BENCH29 Version 1.00: Floating Point and Math Coprocessor Test
- ==============================================================
-
- The microprocessor is the ____________.
- An 80287 math coprocessor (IS) (IS NOT) installed.
- An Equipment Check call says a coprocessor (IS) (IS NOT) installed.
- The 80287 exception interrupt (IS) (IS NOT) properly enabled.
- An accuracy test of the 80287 has (PASSED) (FAILED).
-
- The following floating point tests were written in Microsoft
- C 4.00. The first test uses the math coprocessor emulation
- library and takes about 2.5 minutes on a standard 4.77 Mhz PC.
- The second test uses the math coprocessor and will be performed
- only if one is present. A higher "Speed Index" means a faster
- execution. Variations of a couple percent are normal.
