  yes 
  I've played but the hard part is getting the hardware..

Getting?  I haven't seen mention of special hardware in /any/ docs. Sigh.
  
  you need to add a second "mode" to sio.c
  that allow it to use a second baud rate table
  and somewhere you have to kick the io ports of the device to 
  do whatever is needed to make it run in turbo mode..
  this is usually machine dependent.
