Hello Steven - 

CA>> I was involved at the request of a friend who used a 4mhz
CA>> 8088 machine and wanted better transfers. I had no
CA>> personal interest in WATTCP and zero interest in
CA>> 'updating' it for Erik. 

SH> What would have been needed to do the job? My sense is that
SH> a PC of that vintage would have been better off with an
SH> upgraded UART and disk caching. 

I try not to tell other people what hardware they should use.
It's really quite rude IMO.

It's comparable to telling an employee who arrives late due to
car trouble to buy a new car.  Very unrealistic to tell others
what to spend their money on and when.

This was the 'project' as it was
described to me and I accepted it as valid specifications
without a great deal of questioning of the logic.
