     I wish!

     On our accelerated (10MHz) IIgs, 19,200 baud is just a tad above releable
speed. (When doing ADT transfers, you do have CRC error checking; so, you can
try pushing the speed and, if you get an error message, go down a notch.)  We
get reliable transfers at 9600 baud.

     The explanation for the relatively low speed is that the mod to ADT uses
the Pascal v1.1 protocol firmware interface to talk to the IIgs serial
controller. This is a fairly simple mod which permits leaving most of Paul
Guertin's original ADT stuff in place.

     In any case, the best way to transfer disk images and other files to/from
the IIgs is a standard NULL modem setup with a regular telecom program running
on each computer (e.g. the IIgs and PC). ADT-GS is intended as a way to get the
stuff you need-- mainly, a decent freeware or shareware telecom program-- to
move up to standard NULL modem transfers.

P.S. There was an error relating to setting up HyperTerm on the PC for
transferring adtgs.dmp to the IIgs in the original directions posted with
ADT-GS. The correction was uploaded this morning. Just in case you got the old
version, here is the correcttion:

>>
Example: For Hyperterm, set up a New Connection profile. It should be
"Direct to COM 1" (or whatever COM port you use. Configure for
8 bits, No Parity, 1 Stop bit, 300 baud. Set Flow Control to "None".
Other settings- Emulation can be TTY and, in ASCII Setup, nothing
should be checked in the "ASCII Sending" area. I have just "Wrap lines
that exceed terminal width" checked in ASCII Receiving. Set Line Delay
to about 400 ms.
