I'm trying to use the DECmate/VT278 in terminal
emulation mode (VT100)
via the serial board/DP278, but at this mode all the docs says that
it's only restricted 4800.
Has anybody done it or is it possible to up the speed to at least 9600?
Is this a hardware or firmware limitation?
Since the 6402 will easily handle speeds over 4800, I _think_ the
limitation is how fast the CPU can emulate a VT100, not how fast can
the UART accept characters, so given your choices, I'd say it's a
firmware limitation.
