Does anyone have a Dan II Controller?
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/126948065563

I’d like to have a benchmark comparison for it.

I haven't got one, nor had I heard of it. For others that are
interested (perhaps you already knew about these), there's an
applefritter post on it that links to the project's github page:

- https://www.applefritter.com/content/dan-sd-card-disk-controller
- https://github.com/profdc9/Apple2Card

I'd be interested to know the throughput of it as well.

Hi Andrew, I have one. How should I proceed to benchmark it? With SPF? Or on
a IIgs with Benchmarked?

On a IIgs with Benchmarked please. Use a 16MB image to cut out after the 4K
test.
Please add your results to the spreadsheet.
Dan may also be doing this, so if you find his results there, think of a
combination he hasn’t tried (e.g with or without accelerator or different
speeds, or different micro sd media?)
Thanks!

Actually, it is an 8MB image.
I have uploaded here in case it helps:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eQlhr7m55ccqB4TkRCuorqhPHSoYTiXo/view?usp=sharing
It includes the Benchmarked software, so you can boot a regular 6.0.4 image
to start and then execute benchmarked from this image.

Hi Andrew,

I can't follow which spreadsheet is meant here. Is that some private thing?
I'm asking because I wonder if it would make sense to add results for
A2retroNET.

Oliver

Benchmarked has a spreadsheet to track results.

I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for pointing out :-)

Hi Andrew, I have one.
I was really looking forward to your results so I could compare them to the
other devices in the Juiced GS article I am working on. My deadline
approaches. Are you able to try this soon?

Thanks
Andrew

Hi Andrew,

sorry I did not give you an ETA. My problem is, my GS and my DAN Card are at
different storages. I will only have access to the card on march 14th. I
could give you results the day after. Would that still make the deadline?

Unfortunately not. But I would still be interested to see the results when
you are able to provide them.

Thanks
Andrew
