FWIW, the manual says this:

"The serial parameter string is “500000,8,N,1”, meaning 500 kbaud,
8 data bits, no parity, one stop bit. (The speed is rather high in
order to maximize the oscilloscope’s acquisition speed; if that
poses a problem for you, contact us and we can provide a chip with
custom firmware running at any data rate you choose, e.g. 9600 baud)."

But in any case, I think using the coco to monitor a scope is probably
little more than an art project unless you are monitoring some really
slow-cycling stuff...
