The reason why is that your software developers have been chipping away at the OZ code making the software run faster thus allowing high speed transfers to be attained. This page is just a reminder on how difficult it was to achieve this.
Eazylink2 B4 was the first version that had a program to test all the protocol commands. It is was used for development to indicate whether the hardware or USB to Serial ports are were working as expected with the Z88the Z88. It still remains as a quick check that the link is all right.
It is was selected from the Z88 Menu.

Conclusion
Before this test was provided, it was not surprising that the Keyspan Serial Cable was the favourite USB Serial Cable as it passed all the using the latest software but surprisingly it failed with the original test. The other BIG surprise is that I have just bought a £2.21 USB Serial cable including postage which works with Windows 8.1 and OZ 4.5!
...
It is hoped that by fixing these commands, all versions will work,
