Interesting.
So I have some data now for TPDD transfer @76800, 38400 and 19200.
32kb transfer from PC to M100 (actually writing to ram sequentially)
76800 == 9 sec
38400 == 14 sec
19200 == 23 sec

strange though, I have my 56800 result @ 7 sec.  weird.

Unless my code is very inefficient, it seems that TPDD protocol overhead
really slows things down, because TBACK was able to do the same at 6.6 sec.

Maybe TBACK is the right way to go here, and abandon TPDD protocol for
large transfers..
