I'm impressed with "the Proposed Modula-2 IO Standard" as described in
the document from the BSI working group. (Eisenbach/Henry/Cox).
"Simple and elegant" were my first impressions.

Can anyone tell me whether this is Yet Another Proposed Standard,
or whether this baby has a chance of flying?

Can anyone point me to complete DEFINITION MODULEs?  The paper is
quite sketchy, more a design than a spec.  (Hoping to get hands
on a real live implementation would be hubris, no?)

If this library has some prospects, I'd be interested in implementing
it at home for Logitech v2.0, based only on MS-DOS, not all the
other Logitech paraphernalia.  Whether this hobbyist project will succeed
is as much your guess as mine.

Thanks for any pointers.
