And oddly enough, using the serial connection thru the modem port seems pretty fast, it was writing to the disks as fast as it took to download the info.The modem port will do up to 19,200 bps through the firmware, 57,600 bps with a hardware handshaking cable, and up to 115,000 bps through AppleTalk. Not bad for out-of-the-box 1986 hardware, if I do say so myself. :-)
Just like the 1981 SSC based on the 6551. ;-) The fact that the IIgs will do 115kbits/sec with Appletalk suggests that with some driver work it would do 115kbits/sec with RS-422/RS-232 as well. -michael NadaPong: Network game demo for Apple II computers!
