Maybe implement baud rate for other SIO's than the ones used for terminal #31

Priority: none Difficulty: easy

Easy to implement with copy&paste from the SIO's with baud rate.

I am not interested in this. From 1974 - 1984 I was using plenty of machines with paper and cassette tapes, mostly for work that is. It was no fun at all to wait 20 minutes for loading an assembler, compiler, interpreter ... into the machines. I have done this stuff enough for this life already. If you wish to use a tape SIO at 1200 baud for whatever reason feel free to implement, but make sure the configuration allows 0 baud (unlimited), if not it won't be accepted, sorry.

Same for the communication SIO's. My first own modem did 300 baud, at work we already had 2400 baud phase modulated modems with a size larger than a shoe box and a mighty price tag. I still have fun to connect systems via serial for data transfer, but at nowadays speed.

Implemented for the IMSAI 8080 second SIO, so that with the ESP32 replica the port can be used with correct speed.

Implemented for the IMSAI 8080 modem SIO, factory default is 2400 baud.

Added configurable baud rate to Altair 8800 second 2SIO channel, factory default is 9600.

Added configurable baud rate to Altair 8800 ACR SIO, factory default is 1200.

For Altair 8800 and IMSAI 8080 baud rate for all included SIO's is configurable now and the machines come with realistic settings. The Cromemco Z1 SIO's work at ca. 9600 baud, cannot be configured, but these were set to 9600 anyway.
