That looks like a very interesting design feature on that series of Macs.
If someone can give me a clue as to what possibly is special about these
machines I can try to add some debug code to the kernel. Right now, we don't
even know for sure it's a problem with interrupts.

Even slower rates? Copying the file to a ramdisk to avoid disk I/O if at all
possible? What _does_ help?

Possible; setserial assumes a serial chip like the one in PCs, plus port
based I/O. Someone needs to seriously rewrite setserial. Try setSCCserial
instead, should be available as a Debian package or part of a package.
