If you change out the clock crystal, yes.  If you don't, you only
get the clock crystal frequency, and baud rates from there down from
cutting the frequency in half for each one.

You *can* change out the clock crystal if you are into hardware
hacking; before there were MIDI cards, a lot of MIDI hackers
changed out the crystal to get MIDI speed, and then used a converter
to drive current loop (MIDI is a current loop interface).
