Post by thread:xtal freq for basic compiler i/o at 9600 baud

What is the correct xtal freq to get 9600 baud out of a 16c84 with code made with the basic compiler? Can I dink with it and get a faster rock to work (8 or 10 mhz)?

In it's native form, you will need to run the 84 at 16Mhz as the Basic Compiler only allows for 2400 baud max. I don't know if a 10Mhz 84 will like the 16Mhz rate, so the answer is to use a bog 84/04 and get into the generated serial code at the assembly level to optimize for 9600 baud. Don...
