It will send at that rate with lots of caveat.
Basically you need a processor capable of outputting raw data in approximately 8 microseconds rate minimum. Than you have to build - “roll you own” serial “packet” (start bit, data, stop bit) at desired format. And at that speed you should have error checking / hand shaking included in your code.
Lots of what will happen if… stuff.
A processor build with standard 115200 baud rate or a dedicated external hardware to Parallax processor would be my choice.
The Header, Length and Command segments are mandatory. Interval and Path are only necessary for the INSERT command.
Packet segment description:-
Header: 1 byte
Must be 0xFF.
Length: 2 bytes
Length of the data segment of the packet(Command + Interval + Path).
Command: 1 byte
INSERT 0x01 - Stop the current media and playback the new media file specified in this command. The playlist will continue to next item after playback has completed.
NEXT 0x02 - Skip to next item in the playlist
STOP 0x03 - Stop the Signage playback
PAUSE 0x04 - Pause the media, only applicable for Video/Audio
RESUME 0x05 - Resume from pause
START 0x06 - Start Signage playback from stop state
(For the INSERT command)
Interval (in seconds): 2 bytes
Video/Audio - Duration of clip playback. 0 will play the entire clip.
Photos - Duration of photo display. 0 for the default photo interval.
Path: Variable size
Default Path - file:///opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/USB_DRIVE_DSS/dss/media
Internal USB Root Path - file:///opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/USB_DRIVE_DSS/
External USB Root Path - file:///opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/USB_DRIVE_B-1/
As long as the Stamp doesn't need to receive data at that rate, you should be able to get by using SEROUT on a BS2p, using a baudmode setting of 2. I'm able to receive data from a BS2p on Hyperterminal at this rate without errors. Measuring the baudrate on my scope, I get 115207, which is a lot closer than I thought it would be.

A BS2 only has 26 bytes of RAM, and 2K Bytes of eeprom. Why do you have to send so fast?
