Another place to look is the bi-directional > parrallel (printer) port on the ST. I changed Bammi@mandrill's Zmodem so it used Midi (Bios device 3 rather than 1: easy change) and got nearly 20 K/s, and when I took out the BIOS trap overhead in the main packet-transfer routines (using PERFECTLY LEGAL, PUBLISHED INFORMATION), I am getting 22-23 K/s. Of course, I am not moving the mouse while the transfer is going on... If I did, the throughput would indeed fall down. The other two places (synch mode and parallel) are indeed interesting places! I hope this starts a flurry of activity in this area. ============================================ Opinions expressed above do not necessarily -- Allan Pratt, Atari Corp. reflect those of Atari Corp. or anyone else. ...ames!atari!apratt
