 4K doesn't take _that_ long to push over 1200 bps... 
No,  it doesn't.  It's just a minor annoyance,  which is probably why I only
gripe about it every now and then nad hvaen't really gotten around to doing
anything about it...   :-)
-----------------
The manual has pretty clear instructions for changing the baud rate, up to 19.2
(pp. 8&9); you'll need 2x27128 unless you have a second programmer.

   Replacing a
CBM Kernal ROM is going to need an adapter,  as the eprom has
 more pins.  Are you into making those or do you know of a source for
 them? 
 Depending on which model of CBM you have, there's a no-adapter solution:
 for PETs that take 2332 ROMs (i.e., *not* the old Static PETs), the 2532
 is a drop-in EPROM.  Not the 2732... the 2532.  I have a few of them, some
 from the old days (with PET firmware on them) and a few blanks that I've
 picked up over the years when I was already ordering from some place like
 B.G. Micro.
 I had a $C000 BASIC ROM die in my first PET (the one I got new, when I was
 a kid)... there's now a 2532 in its place. 
Hmm.  I wasn't thinking PET as much as C64,  when I wrote that.  The ROMs in
that one were all 24-pin parts,  a 4K character rom and the BASIC and Kernal
being 8K,  which would need a 2764.
