Hah! Makes the Apple Disk][ drives look generous at 114k for the original 13
sector format, let alone the whole 140k for the 16sector version.

Is 2400 all you can drive the port at?  Does it have any ACIA/UART or is it
bit banging like a commode or I suspect original model IIc. Its a bit
uncommon, but you might be able to manage 4800 out of it, or at a pinch 9600.
9600 will require some CPU grunt instead of better serial ports usually.
