[comp.sys.amiga.datacomm] Downloading with Zmodem!!!

Ivan_Woehr@a68k.UUCP (Ivan Woehr) (03/29/91)

Ack! Ive posted this a few times and people seem to offer reasons but no
suggestions on how to fix the problem which follows:
 
Im using Jrcomm at 2400 baud with a 20 Meg normal Supra drive 16K buffers,
Segate 125Nhard drive, Amiga 500 with 1 meg ram.  When I download, about 95%
of the time I get errors everytime the HD writes during the download...
People say it's my interupts but how do I fix this???

Try increasing your buffer size either through Preferences or JrComm whichever
JrComm uses.  You probably have a 512 byte buffer for the serial port which
is not large enough to handle the incoming data whilst your 500 is busy writing
out the last bunch.  Increase it to 2048, 4096, or 8192 depending on how
much ram you use.
