I would like a 16F84@4MHz or a 12C671@10MHz to communicate with a PC at high speed (my goal is 38.4 kbps). The software uart given in AN555 from microchip says it can provide 4800 baud @ 4MHz or 19200 @ 10MHz. I am wondering if I can buy a separate hardware uart (usart?) and get better performance (with simpler software)? Any leads to where I can find examples/suggestions/help?
