[DSP-10] Monitor UART

Hi Lyle and Steve,

I'm running way behind---a month and a half ago, under "RE: [DSP-10] Help 
with IBM Thinkpad model 380D" there was a subject of monitor UARTs and 
EZFAST. I may off the thread, but I think EZFAST handles it like this:

In the AD monitor, location 39DE has an instruction ax0=1156; (1156 is base 
10) that sets the period for their software UART. It is changed to 
"ax0=something else;" by EZFAST and the UART reinitialized. The formula for 
the constant is in the monitor code, and works out as 33,333,333/(3*B-1) 
where B is the baud rate, originally 9600.

This may be old news!

73,
Bob
