... how Windows is brought to it's knee's by serial and the venerable floppy disk I/O.
Bit mapped display and Windows overhead in scheduling service are of course a considerable part of the problem with serial I/O and perhaps often with floppy I/O. But i remember how my old 6 MHz Megatel z80 board could inhale a floppy with a rat-a-tat sound that the quickest Windows based PC never could. FIFO'd serial I/O only marginally impacted Windows platform reliability. But serial I/O has now gone the way of the floppy disk in Wintel technology so terminal program frustrations daily recede into old war stories told to younger folks. p |
