The copy command is limited to what you set the mode command to. FREEDOS lets you set the baud very high but other dos's and even windows has 9600 baud as the upper limit, well below the uarts top speed. If I type copy filename.prn com1: in any other dos besides FREEDOS its top transmission speed is 9600. Any graphics file would take a few minutes at that speed. Text file are ok at 9600 but pictures take forever. Terminal software like xtalk only send text files at high speeds. For photos you need the dos copy command.
