SKIPTEST [DEVICE] [SAMPLES] [READS] [RS] [RE] [SS] [-H]   

SKIPTEST  plots how long it takes to read a group of blocks 
(defined by READS), then skip a number of blocks (defined by RS 
and RE). Negative numbers are allowed in order to see the effect 
of head movement backwards and forwards.  SS will automatically 
be adjusted if the result would mean the head leaving valid disc 
area. This test will give you a gauge of head access speed. 


     DEVICE  - the device name of the CD-ROM drive  default first 
               drive  
     SAMPLES - the number of samples to take at any test point 
               (default = 1) 
     READS   - the number of CD-ROM blocks to read at any test 
               point (default = 8) 
     RS      - range start is the first number of blocks to skip 
               between reads (default = 0 blocks) 
     RE      - range end is the last number of blocks to skip 
               between reads (default = 30) 
     SS      - start sector for test to begin at (default = 0) 


             Example default SKIPTEST D  1 8 0 30 0 


 Read 8 blocks, skip 0 blocks,  read 8 blocks starting at 0 then 
 read 8 blocks, skip 1 block,   read 8 blocks starting at 0 then 
         |              |              | 
 read 8 blocks, skip 30 blocks, read 8 blocks starting at 0.
