Prove that. It blows itself off its very feet when crashing at the wrong
time and leaving a system behind that's corrupted beyond repair. This is
happening all over the place every now and then.

Might be to the commercial or closed-source nature of most of them.

No, it's a Null-Modem cable with high-speed FIFO cards and FTP or
something, some people use Samba, some dare using NFS, or an Ethernet
card if you can get hold of one and want to afford it.
I'm using a HyperCOM 4 quad-UART board (68554) in my Amiga (which has
crappy drivers and bad support, so beware!) and some quad-16C750 board
in my PC at 460,800 bps which gives me something around 40 kB/s FTP
(PPP) which is quite reasonable for occasional transfers.
