Well, any speed other than 500khz would mean installing a new crystal,
or sticking in a divider. Unless you had some external control over the
divider, both solutions would mean screwing up your MIDI and keyboard
baud rates. But if that's not an issue for you, then you can go ahead
and try it... It just isn't gonna be a software solution.
