Re: 5.25 drive issue w/ IIgs & sys 6.01

So that did work for you too then.  Great. I use a program
called Z-Link for the IIgs and it works great in coordination
with Windows Hyperterminal.  I can run the connection
between the PC and IIgs at 36K.  For some reason, I can't
get them to talk at the maximum speed of 56K.  I also had
to turn on Xon/Xoff instead of hardware handshaking. It
wasn't working for some reason.
