Thanks Paul :)

OK. I have been looking at the possibility of using the serial
port and keyboard on an accelerated Newton.
The plan is this:
1. Replace the 3.6864MHz crystal with a 4.9152Mhz giving a 33% increase.
2. Install a driver for 28800bps.
3. When 28800bps is increased by 33% you get 38400bps. Sound familiar?
4. Change the keyboard ceramic resonator from 4MHz to 5.33Mhz.
If this all works, you would have an accelerated Newt that could use the
keyboard
and communicate serially. At least at 38400bps.
Until I get around to trying this, it is just pure conjecture.
Could be interesting though!

Well, there would have to be a provision to switch the keyboard resonator,
but, in answer to your question, yes.
