- I am almost insulted. Do you really think that I would go through the

- I may implement Daniel Dallmann's shift-register idea, but I also think that
- I can hit 9600 bps on a stock C64 using just the plain bit-at-a-time serial
- organization. I also think that I can do 19,200 bps on a stock C128.
