Interesting. I've been trying to get a WiFi device
for the Commodore
8-bits working consistently in 9600 bps mode, and have just been
assuming the garbage characters I get when I receive a screenful of text
all at once were due to buffer overruns. The garbage characters there
look like actual garbage, not like partial CSIs like [3;1m or whatever.
Unless you're using an ACIA cartridge, 9600bps on the C128 is problematic,
and impossible on the C64.
If you *are* using an ACIA cartridge, then 9600bps is well within spec and
should "just work." I'd look at your driver instead. A buffer overrun
should just drop characters, not munge them.
