Tony,
same with me - got a USBWiz somewhere in a drawer, but never found the time to
do something with it.
This leads me to another (related) question: How is the current (Super) Hermes
availability? Do you still produce it?
With the USBWiz being serial, this really calls for a high-speed interface.
Rich Mellor has secondhand ones.
I have given up QL work but .....
..... I am building some for Rich.
One of the reasons I stopped is I am too busy, so I am not sure when
these can be made.
Adrian is finding, like Laurence and I did, that the fastest speed
attainable is somewhere between 56k and 115200. The limiting factor is
QL speed, so SGC is needed. This is a real pity as the hardware can go
as fast as sH theoretical limit (460800 I think). Its max is 1.5mbps or
so. However the limits for the RS232 chips in sH are probably lower
than 230400. The high serial speed is for TTL links - ie direct serial
links. In fact the RS232 hardware is not on USBWIZ, so a MAX or similar
chip needs adding.
