Yes, the comms data rate is raised by New Clk/Old Clk ratio.
True, beaming between modified units is still possible BUT
it requires the same speed on both. If one unit is overclocked more
than another then no dice.
Recordings are played back at normal rate if the clock remains the same
during recording/playback.
System sounds are not.

This is good.
It means that you may be able to use serial and keyboard when
accelerated. :-)

I am working on it.
