You can do 57,600 and even 115k on an Apple IIe with a Super Serial
Card and a Turbo ASB board.  Ron Higgins is still selling the Turbo ASB
card (which is just a piggyback for the SSC).  There is also a software
hack that will allow 115k only on the SSC, but this requires rewriting
code.  The Turbo ASB fixes a timing bug in the older 6551 ACIA.

To be fair, the only "code it requires rewriting" is the code that
initializes the 6551 for transmission speed--sort of a minimal
change, I'd say.
