Is there a way to confirm whether the baud rate fix has been installed
in this machine other than trying it?  I don't have a serial cable.
Just wouldn't mind knowing now whether it has a problem before I scratch
my head some day down the road.


I'd bet that you don't have the fix, but you can tell for sure by
looking at the logic board. Here are some pics of what to look for:

The difference being the fixed boards having a crystal oscillator where
the original boards had a chip.

I do have the skills to do such a modification, myself. It looks like a wire is soldered across a couple pads and/or the oscillator. Do you know exactly what is done to perform the mod?
