I currently uses 8KByte of ringbuffer size. This seems to be enough.
To increase the ringbuffer size, edit .../atari/dev/zsvar.h. There are
to macros, called ZS_RINGBUFFER_SIZE and ZS_RINGBUFFER_MASK, which are
currently set to 256 and 255. Change this values to 8192 and 8191. Then
build a new kernel.
