But, does it always run that fast?  I know my RS232 PAKs don't go that
fast and and I seriously thought it ran on the Bit Banger (isn't that
what the cable I got from Cloud9 was for?)  You are not going to tell
me someone got the Bit Banger running at 115200.

True, thus my request to see if someone has an already tested mod to
move them.

I can't imagine that being a serious problem as the system did support
two RS232 PAKs in the first place.  The Deluxe and the Modem PAK.

I would love to look at that.
