That's fine for 1200 or 2400, but what about 9600.  The friendly (ha!)
folks at Metropolitan Computer here in Richardson TX (hate, hate, spit,
fume, growl) won't let me try their AmigaTerm demo at work.  I refuse
to buy an emulator that won't keep up at close to 9600 baud.

This brings up a question to CBM:  why is it so stinking hard to get
fast emulation going on a 68000 box with a separate IOP!  It seems
a bit ridiculous to me... maybe the OS is really getting in the way?
Is the slowup all in the console driver?
