Good luck!   I hope that your SSC is okay. :-)  FYI: though it can do
19200 baud, it is not very reliable at all (if you even get it to work
that is) -- consider 9600 or 4800 baud to be safe.   I stick with 4800
because of the length of my serial cable and because I'm paranoid.

What?  You mean there's no checksum on transfers?

And lots of folks are using their SSCs at 115kbps--reliability depends
on the program(s) doing the transfer.  Length of cable can be a speed
consideration, but up to 25 feet shouldn't be a problem.
