As much as 38400k ...

Sure the chip can run at 38400k ... but that assumes no overhead
for the operating system.  IBM-PC Kermit (not to be confused with
Z-100 Kermit) can do transfers at up to 115Kb, but it intercepts the
interrupts.  Its difficult to rewrite the Z-100 routines for mere
4 fold improvement when you can transfer an entire hard disk with one
command (Kermit has an associated program to send directories), and most
Z-100's don't even have a hard disk. 

Unless, Scott, YOU want to.  :-)
