For details on the Z80 SIO, see Z80-DART/Z80-SIO chip.

The COM8116 chip is driven by a 4.9152 MHz crystal. Selectable clock sources are:

0=800 Hz    4=2400 Hz    8=28800 Hz   12=76800 Hz
1=1200 Hz   5=4800 Hz    9=32000 Hz   13=115200 Hz
2=1760 Hz   6=9600 Hz   10=38400 Hz   14=153600 Hz
3=2152 Hz   7=19200 Hz  11=57600 Hz   15=307200 Hz

The baudrates can be further divided by 1,16,32,64 inside of the Z80 SIO.
