FW: Re: Radio Shack DMM with RS-232 interface and ProbeScope

[john carroll]

I am finishing a PIC project that communicates in 8 bit bytes +1 +1 at about 80k baud 
without really trying for maximum speed.  The chrystal speed could be increased from 
4 to 20 Mhz.  If the PIC has the data ready it can be sent in a hurry.  What are you doing 
with all this fast data?
