Harlan:
About Rick's note on "high speed port": I did a brief scan through an
old (1995) PC hardware book from the 286/386/486 era. One thing that you
might want to check out is the UART. The first UART to support buffering
was the 16550AN. Earlier chips didn't support buffering, so they
couldn't handle more than 2400 bps (sic), but you'll need something that
can provide 115 kb.
Regards,
Carroll Grigsby
