Good catch; yeah, if that baud rate can't be changed it's a non-starter.

Hi Hiraghm,
Serial/UART baud rate: 115200 bps
That would be an issue in the Model 100 ... the UART can't run that fast, and
even if it could, the 8085 would never keep up with the data rate. Nice little
board though!

PineNut Wifi/BLE board
this thing is about 1" by 2/3" (25 x 14mm), and as I understand it provides
wifi and bluetooth, via serial (TTL or UART, I think).
I think it could be mounted internally to the M100 (dunno about M102).
Maybe a 200, too.
IF one could connect it to the modem serial connection, one could then
theoretically use it to connect via wifi/bluetooth, and switch to the external
rs232 port, keeping its functionality, with a minimum of "destruction" to the
M100.
Or maybe, connect it to the barcode scanner, which, if possible for regular
comms with the module, would leave you able to use the rs232 and the wifi at
the same time.
I'm interested in any opinions on this, because imo it could massively
improve the functionality of the M100 (yes, I know the same essential thing is
possible with some of the wifi-capable arduino boards, but all I've seen of
them are much larger than this).
