Subject: Test positions wanted to discover search depth

I have this old Chess Challenger 7.  It has about 7-8 levels of play and I've
always wondered how deep it searches and whether any of the search is full
width.

Are there test positions that I could give it that would tell me how deep it was
searching?  I was thinking of maybe a series of mate-in-1, mate-in-two,
mate-in-three, etc that would tell me the maximum depth.

How would I test the full width depth?  Are there collections of mates that have
no captures or checks right up to mate so that search extensions and selective
filters wouldn't be triggered?
