Spintest version 1.2, a free program from Gibson Research Corporation,
from 1988. This program measures the number of rotations needed to
read a track on your hard disk; if this number is much higher than 3,
it probably means your interleave is not correct. It also measures a
transfer rate for your hard disk in kilobytes of data moved per
second.
Uudecode directly to get spintest.com. The program includes onscreen
documentation.
