Emax

Hi
I only have programming knowledge from flash so i may just be rambling around.
and dont know if the script language you are using can do 'for' loops
but in flash I made a solution to a problem like yours
by making  'for loop' which was executed at some intervals, each time 
'sending'/ calculating some datas,
and having a counter addding up everytime, to use only inside the 'for loop'.

2000 commands? but each one would be the same commands-  in the script, right?
so write one command,  put it in a for loop, and make it execute 2000 times 
with a interval of 'x' millisecons or what ever.


But if you are trying to make  a rs422 interphase to dump banks, i would 
think that SCSI is faster,
I belive that rs422 was made for editing. but don't know.
