Hi,

I used TwinExpress (found at Aminet) to transfer files between an Amiga and a PC and it worked perfect with 115200 baud. The only problem is that TwinExpress runs from DOS and isn't able to work with "modern" PC-hardware, i.e. you need a Pentium 1 or 486 PC.
With two A1000 a friend and I were able to transfer files with 190000 baud using an unshilded cable of 20 m length with errors !!!
But TwinExpress doesn't use the serial.device, this software works direct with the underlying hardware (the CIA 8520) by bypassing the serial.device.
