I can vouch for that ... one of my H8-5's had an issue
at 9600 baud ...it turned out to be an opto isolator as
Dwight suggests.

I also had a bad 4N26 isolator on one of my H9's that
caused the same issue at that baud rate (but, as was the
case with the H8-5, worked fine at lower buad rates)...
go figure. Pretty consistent issue it seems ...
