Any Way to Clock "fastest possible?"

On Palm Desktop synch, I have it set for "as fast as possible."

I recently (again) downloaded PilotInstall ("PINstall") as a SECONDARY hotsyncher and was careful NOT to make it the default handler (makes a hell of a mess if you do) . . . . .

The default speed is 57,600 and I'm wondering if I can safely set that to a faster speed. It's probably fast enough, and for all I know may be the default "fast as possible" speed" on Palm Desktop.

Is there any way to know what the default is for Palm Desktop set to "fast as possible," or clock it? That way I can set PINstall the same.

Thanks!

Addendum: Set it at 115000 (middle setting) and it flies - and ALSO remembers to put .txt in the SD Tealdoc folder (?!) - very hip. Is there a danger of misreading information at too fast a setting, or do things just "glitch?"
 
Yes 115000 is fine. I remember that being the fastest possible for some reason (limitation with the Palm serial port I believe) but there's no need to worry about errors. If there were any errors in data transfer, the software would realise and get the relevant frame retransmitted. I wouldn't have thought it any more likely for errors to occur at that higher speed, than at the lower one.

Excellent - thanks very much,

Thre is one small glitch with PInstall I thought I'd share - when you "unzip" the original zip, it creates around 8 registry entries (fine) but also puts an icon on the desktop (normally fine too).

The icon on the desktop is NOT a shortcut - it's a second instance of the app.

Therefore, I did the following:
1. Created folder in Program Files for PInstall.

2. Open the zip, open program with shortcut, set things how you want, etc.

3. Delete the desktop shortuct

4. Assign new desktop shortcut pointing to the programs files "instance" of the app.

After that things are terrific - I would advise NOT to have it be default installer and NOT to have it recognize "file types" in any way (register file types). Leave that to Palm Install. Pinstall still will synch anything in around 1-1.5 seconds and save worlds of time - truly a terrific add-on. But Your "icons" will remain dedicated to Palm/QuickInstall and there will be no hotsynch problems, either.

Really happy with it especially for quick text files installation.

Thanks for the speed tip - 115000 is what I'm leaving it on and it's blazingly quick without the hassle of 147 conduits all running in regular Palm Desktop! Woo hoo!
