The manuals for the TU58 DECtape II tape drive controller indicate that the transmit and
receive baud rates can be set independently. Have any of y'all ever heard of an
application that uses different transmit vs. receive baud rates with a TU58 drive, or is
this independent baud rate capability just a coincidental feature that arose from the way
the controller's UART was implemented?
I'm thinking about a little embedded TU58 emulator project, and I'm wondering how
important it is to support the independent baud rate feature.
