Just for fun I want to run some benchmarks on my Mac 512k (which has a 68020 accelerator board and 4MB of RAM) and my Mac SE (which is a stock 68000 with 4MB of RAM). The only thing is, both machines have 800k floppy drives. Does anyone know of a benchmark software that fits on a 800k disk?

Vintage Benchmark Software that fits on 800k disk?

What about Speedometer 3.6? Fits easily on an 800k disk... or even on a 400k one. But it requires at least system 6.0.3, so you'd have to boot first and then play the disk swap mini game if you don't have a hard drive.
Speedometer 3.6 sounds good, I'd just have to figure out how to get it onto my 800k floppy maker!
And yeah, no hard drives for either machine yet...I'm not sure if the unoccupied pin header on the 512k's accelerator board is for SCSI drives but I could certainly put a SCSI2SD in the SE.

Reviving this old thread — I’m trying to run benchmarks on a pair of accelerated Macs, a 128k with Plus ROMs and a 20MHz Total Systems Gemini with SCSI (actually ... the clock and CPU are both marked 40MHz, maybe it’s running that fast??), and a Plus with a 25 MHz Novy Quick30.
Speedometer 4.0.2 crashes every time on both. I hadn’t expected an older version to work better — has anyone had luck with Speedometer 3.6 or another bench tool on similar old, weird upgraded machines? Amusingly, TattleTech 2.59 tells me the accelerated 128k is running at 0.01 MHz ... (TattleTech 2.17 crashes on load, as does Clockometer. Sigh)

Interested to hear how that turns out since I have similar systems
