Re: Wireless keyboard, 4800bps possible?

I have some 4800bps transmiter-receiver -pairs lying around.
Does anyone know if PS/2 or a Twiddler I needs 9600 ?
I can hook up the receiver directly to a serial/ps/2 port and would
not like to have microcontrollers on both ends, just to do
a bit-rate conversion.
