[Coco] quick dw hdb-dos question

[Bill Pierce]

Robert, There's a Rom for the Coco 2 that doesn't use the high speed poke, but you'll only get half the baud rate for DW. It should work in a Coco 3 just fine. There may even be a "gamer's rom" for the Coco 3 without the high speed poke ( couldn't find one), I know there is for the Becker port.
This probably needs to be done as it was to the becker port rom.

Subject: [Coco] quick dw hdb-dos question


I have HDB-DOS on a eprom.  I'm happy.  When it starts the 
version/banner is:

HDB-DOS 1.1D DW3 COCO 3

It engages the high speed poke and runs at 115k baud as expected. 
Question:  Is there a POKE (etc) that would disable the high speed 
poke?  I know I can poke back to low speed, but HDB-DOS will always 
switch it back to high speed.  Normally this is what I want.  But if I'm 
going to be typing for a long time, or using speech pak, would be nice 
to be able to shift it to 0.89mhz as per normal, and I assume then 
communication would be at 57.6k   ...?  But maybe there is no such 
switch available.

Thanks all, merry Christmas.
