Its not only MSdos 7.1 but other dos's that limit the uart speed to 9600 baud. The mode command doesn't go higher than 9600 baud. I use the dos copy command to send the .prn files to a bluetooth printer. At 9600 baud you can take a nice long coffee break while it prints. FREEDOS doesn't have a limit like that. What is the point of making fast uarts if the software holds you back.
