Yes, as far as I know I was the first one to do anything with higher baud
rates. But I didn't come to the Model 100 scene until about 2004, I think.

At least on the Model 100 and T102 it is fine all the way up to 7600bps.

I've never looked at it. The possibility for the higher baud rates was
clear from the UART data sheet.

No. HTERM source is available if you want to look at serial stuff.

Oh that was on purpose...

There's a story docent told me... Frank Lloyd Wright designed walls at a
slight angle because he didn't like people hanging pictures on (his) walls.
The owners still figured out how to hang pictures.

The idea with the one-liners being in PDF was to force you into the
enlightening joy of typing them in. They're short so it should be feasible
for most.

We really should revive the one-liner contest. Produces a lot of learning
and creativity.
