19,200 bps with compression is slow?

With no compression.

Wouldn't switching programs, etc. kill your speed advantage?  With
ADT, all I do to get a disk into my PC is hit Alt-Ctrl-T in Win 95,
insert the ADT disk into the //e, turn it on, switch the disk with
what I want to move to the PC, hit "S" on the //e, type "Q.DSK" on the
//e, and hit return.  After a minute or so, I'm done.

A IIgs user may find your way better, tho, since they wouldn't need to
get a real SSC.
