Are you talking download speeds here? This is my biggest problem area -
with my hardware under NT I find that nqc.exe is the best way to get
pbFORTH bootstrapped into the RCX, but even that fails 4 times out of 5
(I have a script which times how long nqc -firmware pbforth.srec takes
and loops until it takes more than 2 minutes).

Yikes! The NQC portion of the upload should work every time. Are you RCX
tower batteries fresh? I try to put the tower and the RCX about 10 cm
apart, that works almost every time, unless the tower batteries are dying.

Cheers,
