[net.micro.cbm] RS232 on the 64

wutka@gitpyr.UUCP (Mark Wutka) (11/22/85)

 According to the Commodore 64 Reference, the RS232 can handle anything
up to 1200 baud, and anything faster is not implemented. According
to COMPUTE!'s Mapping the 64 (a VERY handy book!!) it can go up
to 2400 (it says that presumably the machine wouldn't be able to keep
up with the speed). Which is the highest implemented, 1200 or 2400 ??

In net.micro.cbm someone posted an article that they were using a 2400 baud
modem with the C64. I can't remember
who said it, anyone?
The topic was something to do with having troubles with using 1200 baud and
the C64 dropping chars for some people...someone mentioned they test it with
a 2400 baud modem and it worked fine.
  
Perhaps this will jog someone's memory.
