- All I can say then, the Amiga was never that great as I've seen
- a Texas Instruments 99/4a do 19.2K. For those who don't know what
- a TI99/4a was, it came out around 1982, had 16K RAM and used audio
- tape to load and save.

- My point is simple; an A600 should be able to sustain 19.2K baud
- but it can't when I'm running AVM and MUI. I've killed off all
- unnecessary progs from startup-sequence and user-startup. I've
- used a 2 colour screen and also used a blanker. Something sucks
- and I reckon it's MUI with all those libraries it opens.
