! A few years ago just at the end of the BBS era, a new little software
! company came out with a Terminal package for the Mac that
! used their own
! serial port driver. I can't remember the name, but they
! buffered the port
! with some fairly nice code that ran I think during the "VBL"
! of the video
! interrupt. Not only was the throughput great, no gliches, but
! the big demo
! thing was to format a floppy during the downloading of a file. Market
! window was bad though, and I don't think they lasted even a year.
Does anyone remember what this software package name is? Sounds like
something I'd like to have & use...
I think it was called something like Snap, but it died so fast and had some
kind of copy protection on the floppy, that it may be very hard to find.
