For some time now, many people have complained that it is difficult to
use high baud rates with the built-in serial port.
Serial card are available, but they are not cheap, and A500/A600 owners can't
use them.

So here's an idea: Can't we make a fast serial port ourselves? I'm sure
there are people that has the necessary knowledge. If we can make a simple
hardware project, many people will be able to built such a card.

Here's some goals:

1) Fast - at least 115300 baud.
2) Should work on 7MHz 68000.
3) Easy to built, even for those not too experienced in hardware hacks.
4) Cheap.
5) Should be installable in A500/A600 as well as A1000/A2000/A3000/A4000.

Is anobody interested in doing it? We need people

1) that knows about building hardware.
2) to write a device driver for the port (I can help a little here).
3) to find out how to do it.

(I'm probably missing someone here)

Now think about it: Wouldn't it be great if we actually succeeded in making
a fast serial port, that is easy to build?
