Presumably with a utility like interlnk. It would depend on the baud rate you had it set to, 9600 would be typical but you could go much slower. Looks like a 20MB zip, not sure how much expanded but certainly more. At a minimum in ideal settings it would take over 5 hours.
- tssva 4y agoDuke3d was released in 1996. PCs by that point had long included some variation of the 16550A UART and interlnk took advantage of the FIFO in the 16550A. A PC powerful enough to run Duke Nukem 3D should not have had a problem transferring at 115200.
