   Unless I am grossly mistaken, the upper limit is 115,200 bps. But
heck, even my old PC-1 can do that (technically, anyway, altho the
CPU might not have the horsepower to handle the data).

   Anyway, I don't offhand recall the UART used in the PS/2s (may
be the good old 8253) but that would be the determining factor as
far as top speed.
