Has anyone heard of another "safety valve" feature of the Laserwriter
that allows you
to reset the EPROM settings in case you accidentally screw up the baud
rate?  I've
been reluctant to try any of these speedups unless I knew I could return
things to
normal if problems arose (and finding a 9-pin serial cable for our sun
would take
a long time).

Also, does anyone really trust a Sun 3/60 serial port to go much faster
than 19.2kb?
