Adrian, I realize the speed of the serial port is indeed a limitation but to me the real value would be the ability to access files through USB. I'm willing to wait for the data transfer and the stuff I would be transferring is not that big anyway. For other people, the speed might be a more important factor.
Thanks for the update, I think it is a very interesting project. /Petri On Tue, Feb 1, 2011 at 8:46 PM, Adrian Ives <[email protected]> wrote: > Petri, > > My aim is to support a standard QL, but I don't want to mislead anybody: > there are obviously many limitations of the standard serial ports, not the > least of which being the maximum speed!
