[Coco] 6551 bitrates

[Roger Taylor]

The 6551 ACIA should be able to run at 115200 bps by setting the baud 
rate to 0000 which means (external crystal / 16).  Has anyone 
confirmed this?  I used to talk to my external modems from the CoCo 
with this setting but there was no way to actually clock the datarate 
to prove the speed.  The modems I think were auto baud detecting, 
meaning whatever the rate I was sending at, the modem would switch to 
it when it received the AT character sequence.  I could be wrong.
