Mike, MoSlo Deluxe for DOS takes care of CPU cache automatically and offers an option to turn the COM port controller's FIFO buffer OFF as well. While I still use these instructions when executing MoSlo I find my PC's all default to FIFO OFF anyway. Gary/N6LRV

I have not been using Deluxe but maybe that is the trick versus the Basic trial version. I also expect CPU cache is involved here somewhere. I do have the COM port FIFO turned OFF. -mike/w5jr --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, "Gary" <n6...@...> wrote: > > Yes.
