Gee, I have not had any problem using the disk and RS232 at the same time with
one exception: you CANNOT use the RS232 at the same time the so called "wedge"
(hereafter refered to as "kludge") is active.  Why?  Because both the RS232
kernal routines and the kludge program supplied with your 1541 use the cassette
buffer for temporary storage.  All sorts of weird things occurred to me before
I found that out.

I almost always use the new VT-52 emulation program.  But occasionally, I dust
off my old simple Basic terminal program I wrote as it allows uploading of disk
files.  The base note mentioned downloading.  I've never tried that so I can't
say for sure there are no problems.  All I know is, as long as the kludge is
not active, I've never had any problems uploading files off disk.
