I have ZERO issues streaming a code to a PM VGA using GFXterm, set to 38k4.
If I set TT(v5.3) to 38k4 or even 9600 baud in an attempt slow the bugger down, it does not matter - whatever I paste into TT after issuing the AUTOSAVE command, runs at full throttle no matter what - REALLY fast!

And the problem with that, is that the code is being corrupted BIG time.
This is NOT an issue with GFXterm.

We're talking about 2k worth of dropped ASCII character code, so the MMBASIC program is totally corrupted and won't run.

The workaround is to use something like GFXterm, which streams the code slowly to the PM VGA, according to what baud rate you have set.

GFXterm does not like the taste of the colour-code though, so I have simply disabled it.  TT works fine with the colour-code, but the problem is that the code ends up corrupted!  

Anyone got any ideas about how you slow down JUST the autosave/paste from clipboard when it comes to TT?

I need to update GFXterm - I am using build 27DEC21, which is quite old.

Rob - if you see this, can you link me to your latest version?
That might fix the issue totally.
