- What everyone is ignoring here, even though it's been said several times,
- is that the design specs of the 16550 UART and the clock circuits that
- it uses are limited to 115.2K - it won't go faster. See now?
-
- If you want faster you need an add-in card like the HAYES ESP card that
- is designed to use 230K (and doesn't use a 16550).
