[Coco] Max baud rate for 68681 in MM/1?

I read ambiguous information about the 68681 on the MM/1's I/O board.
Does anybody have a definitive word? Page 2-5 of the MM/1 technical
manual claims that it can be run at "1 megabytes per second" (seriously
8M bits/sec?), but the table on page 9-2 and the text on 9-2 state that
the maximum baud rate is 34,800. Is this a pragmatic maximum based on
the CPU's ability to service the DUART's on-chip buffers without
interrupt-masking trickery, is it the real hard maximum for the 68681,
or is it a hard maximum imposed by the MM/1's hardware? Anybody have
any insight?
