If you look at the serial console, it should even tell you the
negotiated PPS settings.  So far there is no code to export this via USB
t othe host PC, as far as I remember.  However, it would be simple to
add it in case you don't happen to have a matching serial cable.  Please
let me know.

Well, I think that the firmware can be fixed to handle all the speeds,
and we should try that as a primary goal.  But yes, twisting the ATR
bytes in order to ensure the Fi/Di values cannot be selected above a
certain speed might very well be a nice idea.  It's more in the area of
a man-in-the-middle than a purely passive trace, though.
