Hmmm, that's a bit awkward for me, but I'll look into it, thanks.

The device attached is an 8 bit micro and because it's running from a
16Mhz clock anything that's non divisible gives me errors, for example at
115200 I get 3.7% rate error (ie, it's 3.7% off the correct rate). At
31250 (MIDI) and 62500 (double MIDI) I get 0%.

I'll have a tinker and see what I can do.
