Are there many
computers (apart from the BBC Micro!) that can do 9600
baud but not 110 baud? I ask merely for information.
I am fairly sure I persuaded a beeb to do 110 once, for dial-up to a
cetain university to play MUD.. I think it was as simple as changing a
jumper over, but this was about 25 years ago and so i forget exactly
which one.. It was certainly a non-permenant mod..

[1] Maplin, the company, are still going, but their range of components
is a joke. They now mostly sell electornic toys, Lo-Fi, etc.
Tell me about it... I cleaned out two stores this weekend to get
enough 33uF 25V electrolytics for a repair I was doing... hardly
exotic, I thought, but the total quantity between two stores? Five!
