It could be configured for data rates up to 9600. The 6809 support for the SuperPET was shaky at best. There is a real problem with scrolling the screen and receiving data. Also, the mE's "talk" command is HALF DUPLEX. Makes it just about useless. I have access to another microEditor ("BEDIT" I believe) which had a better communications routine and several 6809 miniterminals, but all of them have the same problems. I would kill or die for a VT100 emulator on my SuperPET that worked at 2400 baud.
