Great! I'm after one of those! Don't suppose it could be modified to do
3.5in 720k disks too?

Oooooh, yes please...!

I have a whole set of these on my bulletin board. Your best bet is the
'Aterm' series by Gareth Babb that do black&white ANSI or 4-colour ANSI
terminal emulation, Xmodem, Xmodem-1k, Ymodem, Ymodem-batch and Ymodem-batch-g
protocols...the terminal is pretty fast too...should keep up to at least
9600baud without problems... I don't think anyone has written Zmodem for
the beeb yet...besides, if you've got a reliable link (eg an MNP modem) then
Ymodem-batch-g is just as fast in most circumstances).

Richard.
