ISTR seeing a while back something about screen depth (= #colours)
possibly affecting operation of the serial port during comms.

Could this be the reason why IBrowse (and others ;) may not operate
properly /until/ and /during/ downloads until it is switched out of
view (and best if Workbench is displayed). Does the complexity of the
transfer animation have any practical effect other than taking time?

I use Executive and have tried this switched on and off; is it worth
scheduling serial.device, artser.device, IBrowse etc (NOSCHEDULE and
ABOVE settings tried).

I have set IBrowse (via MUI's System Call Inspector) to its own 8
colour public screen (interleaved?). This I think is the problem on my
ECS A3000/25/FPU 2+18meg system.

Resetting it to use Workbench (8 colours) clears all (serial/comms)
problems, but this makes life a tad difficult if other programs are
running there and need to be easily accessed.


Any help, of course most gratefully received!
