Someone will have to track this down, but I believe it was Roger Taylor who discovered the RS232 pak was capable of much higher speeds by giving it some undocumented setting. I do not know if I read this on coco3.com <http://coco3.com/>’s message forum or in this list, years ago. It was around the time of his bluetooth pak and such.

Anyone recall?
