Good to know. I'm about to stick a 6551 in my C64. At least I think that is the case with the 6551, as my C64 used to have a 6551 at the SID socket (with an extra address line...) and it worked - besides the horrible rts/cts handshaking which is not possible with the 6551. Did you have a look at the Sockmaster ACIA6551 fix that builds a hardware flow control? A link is on my site. It is an RS flip-flop that is set when a low-bit arrives (start bit) and that is reset when register 0 is being read. The output is taken as RTS. You only have to assure reseting the flipflop after an error I think (didn't try). I am now using a 16550A in my C64, in place of the ACIA6551. And here I really get reliable 9600 baud (probably more when I reduce the interrupt latency in my OS... :-( Without the hardware handshake (which I didn't know about then) I lost too many chars at 1200 baud already with the 6551 with my selfbuilt OS.
