And FWIW, I've proven that we can get up to 38400bps on the 100 and T102 serial port. We put up with the equivalent of a 600baud display on the Model 100 itself :-) Speaking of display speed, if anyone wants a fun assembly project, I think it would be cool to modify the BASIC ROM to implement the hardware scrolling feature of the 100 and 102. It would be a massive improvement, based on Phillip Avery's demo http://club100.org/memfiles/index.php?&direction=0&order=&directory=Philip%20Avery/Hardware%20Scroll -- John.
