The 16F688 is 8Mhz , the serial is set to 9600 baud , when i have use it i don't
have loose any chars i pressed on the KB.
You will see in the source that the PIC only wait and translate the keyboard scan-code.
I don't have use interrupt , it's a pure bit banging system because every KB don't
send the bits at the same speed.
And about how fast it was , you can consider that it was exactly the speed of the KB

Cheers.
