Are you sure they're not referring to 8 bits of data and a parity bit? In any case, please give the address to the list so that it can be checked out.
Come on, give it up already and admit you were wrong. At least 8 different people have cited examples of machines that supported non 8bit bytes. Your pride is getting the best of you.
