That's not true, John. SCS multimode controllers do a fine job with
Pactor-2 and Pactor-3, both of which utilize ARQ. These protocols are
implemented in software running on a computer -- one of the 68K
variants, as I recall.
The impediment to running ARQ protocols on Windows PCs is the absence
of pre-emptive scheduling in Windows.
