If the 6551 proves unreliable with the 3.6864 Mhz crystal, you don't
necessarily need to revert all the way back to 1.8432 Mhz.  The uDrive
will support bit rates from 300 to 256K bps, including non-standard
rates.

A 4.096 Mhz crystal would deliver the maximum rate. I have no idea if
the 6551 (or 6551A) could handle that.  There is also the question of
how fast the CoCoNet software can service the ACIA.
