Here is another sighting of a Silent 703 working at 1200 bauds:

Says the author in the comments: "My Silent 700 came with a manual.
So I went by that. I was pleasantly surprised that my Silent 700 had
the "high speed
option"."
So there was a high-speed option for the Silent 703 apparently?

Looks like it. I haven't found anything yet on the 703 high-speed
version, but it's probably similar to the 707/1200 version. The one
shown here has a copyright date of 1986, so getting late in the game
there. That is PN 2545996-0001 and also has an external serial port
not found on earlier 707s, I think.

I will try to ask somebody who worked at the Temple plant about it,
though.
