- The problem is with the 2000 serial port, not NetBSD. I believe on
- 500s and 2000s, 56kbaud is the max speed the serial port is built for
- (don't know about other Amigas since I never tried them at high speed
- serial connections). This is why there are 3rd-party companies that
- make those I/O boards that support higher speed (e.g. the Multi-Face
- cards).
