Thanks for the hint Andy,
I tried 57600 and even 9600 (btw you dont have to upload at that speed, you
can upload at any speed then change speed then 'go'). With 57600 I still
got errors, and with 9600 I got... heavy slowdown (so much that I couldnt
run the program long enough to look for errors)!
A little slowdown also with 57600; unfortunately slowdown is not acceptable
for what I need...

Yes you're probably right.

I'm using Siocons. I can't find PSComUtil, I've looked through Yarozescene
and the Member pages list, any link?
However I tried PsxComm by Kenny Millar and it looks like there are no more
errors (at 115200bps). I can't be sure though as there is a lot of output.
Unfortunately I also need the output to be saved to a file... (I used
redirection with Siocons). I could copy/paste but it's painful when you do
it too many times and PsxComm does have a limit on the amount of text it
stores (not a small limit, but a limit nonetheless) - and yes I need all
the data at once :( .

...weird! Any explanation?
