Table II contains benchmarks using the extra RAM as a RAM disk. 
All are disk intensive tasks and are primarily sequential.  One would
expect the RAM to do even better on tasks involving random disk access.  My
system has a 5 MHz clock and twin QD Mitsubishi floppies with 3 msec step
time.  The disks were initially empty and each test was preceded by a DIR
command.
