It is working. The default radix of the monitor is hex, though. Almost
certainly you want to do:

baud d'19200

I may have raised this before.. I forget..

Anyway, I've got the Aug '90 version of Bruce's ROM monitor
and, while using it to download bits of minix, had hopes that
this latest-and-greatest version would allow me to up the baud
rate to something a little more practical than 9600 baud.

No such luck.

Looking at the baud conversion table, you should be able to at least
go to 19200. I've looked at the code that sets the default baud rate
and the code that dynamically sets it later and I can't see any reason
why it wouldn't work. My 32000 assembly isn't quite up-to-snuff enough
yet to tell whether the code in dblib.s is working properly.

Any ideas? Sure would nice to be able to download that mini-root
at 38400 when I need to, erm, bail myself out of some scrape with a
ram disk minix!

 I had same problem. Remember that 'baud 19200' will attempt to set hex 19200,
try baud d'19200. Hope it is this simple for you too.
