Another example is the Color Computer 3. UltimateTerm 2.4 from 1987 could
bit-bang reliably 9600 baud (also Twilight Term from 1996). The CoCo3 had
a higher speed CPU option than its original. "bit banging" (imo) is the
host system doing the work of producing the start/stop bits on its own.

And if you know anything about the 1802, it's, uh, not so speedy.
