Subj: REPLY TO MSG #5998 (LAPDOS PROBLEM)
I have no problem pipping LAPDOS.BA but I have "bue coup" problem getting LAP.EXE to "catch the wave" timing when a 33 MHz is used. After many invocations, it will finally catch and then all is well. Note that I use my own NUL modem cable and it does differ a bit from the "official LapDOS" cable. With an old 10 MHz XT it catches first time. I've used MODE SPEED= command to slow down the 33 MHz machine with the following results: the slower I go the more likely it is to catch but then the more likely it is that transfers are error-free. At SPEED=MAX (33 MHz) it's hell to get it to catch but once that's done I've never had any error during file transfer.
