ADTPro supports 115,200 on a standard SSC or the IIgs serial port.
Unless the original poster is using a different configuration, he
should be able to get this connection speed as well should he not?

I know I have transfered *loads* of disks using ADTPro using both a
standard SSC and the IIgs serial port and niether takes 15 minutes to
copy an 800Kb disk image - much closer to 2 mins (or less).
