I suppose that's what I needed to hear--better to know it can't be done than to keep trying forever. :-) I'll need to make XON/XOFF switchable for file transfers, of course. As for buffer size, I picked 256 bytes because that's the width of the 6502's index registers, though I could probably make a larger buffer at the expense of more involved code. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scott Alfter _/_ / v \ Apple II: Internet: alfter@uns-helios.nevada.edu ( ( the power to be your best!
