My impression is that DOS has a maximum baud rate of
9600 baud for the serial port. If that is the case,
does it reflect a real hardware limitation on the UART?

Is there a way to bypass DOS and set up the serial port
for 19.2? I ask because I need to talk a serial device
that can only talk at 19.2. The messages would be very
short, so I don't need a sustained througput of anything
like that.

I am really interested in the built in serial port on a
PC Jr, but a more general response would also be interesting.

Please reply by e-mail.
