Well, I didn't say "timing error", I did say "timing

which can be found in the WD 1984 Data Communications
Handbook (I think there's a copy online). Page 126-127.
"Thus, signals with up to 46.875% distortion could be
received."
Well, I think it is wild market-speak inflation. Yes, if
everything else was perfect, then as long as the serial data
was at the correct level while the UART sampled the signal,
the rest could be garbage. But, how will a seriously
degraded channel ALWAYS pass the signal correctly just when
the UART samples it? NOT very likely.
