[Coco] DLOAD mystery

Hello folks,

Ok, I discovered that the 300bps mode (DLOAD "FILE",0) of DLOAD works.  The 
1200bps mode (DLOAD "FILE",1) is causing some missed bit(s) in the start of 
the transmission with two of my PCs, both using different types of COM1 
ports (laptop with USB adaptor), so this leads me to believe that maybe, 
just maybe, the CoCo or cable(?) is causing the problem.  :)

Has anybody here tried using the DLOAD.EXE utility yet at 1200bps to 
transfer a file over to their CoCo?  Btw, I've even tried using no 
handshaking, hardware handshaking, and have wired my cable using various 
configurations that are in use today.
