Performance
This section describes issues relating to serial performance on the Falcon.
Although these issues are described in the context of XFER, they apply to serial
transfers in general.
File-transfer speed is severely reduced when byte counts are displayed on the
Falcon screen. Use the
Q
option in XFER to enable quiet mode and speed up
transfers (refer to
Performance also is diminished when data is transferred to the
C
drive or to a
PCMCIA ATA card. Both of these devices write data to the disk very slowly.
Problems may arise as the disks become full and loading algorithms are
executed to clean up space for new data. This can become particularly severe
with Zmodem in streaming protocol, because the sender never waits for the
receiver to write data to the disk. To avoid this problem, use Zmodem with
either windowing (refer to
) or flow control (refer to

, and

settings, the value string should also be capitalized. Any
responses from the modem are converted to capital letters before being compared
with the various substrings.
