Thanks to those who contributed their thoughts to me on this!

I am encouraged to venture to modify some DOS source to conduct
console I/O over an RS232 interface.

For that, I need some DOS source (asm code) to modify. I saw 
some DOS source in an ANALOG article a while back (I have the issue
at home), and rather than type it in, is this (or any other public
domain ATARI DOS asm source, for that matter) available for downloading 
from any known bulletin board systems? 
It could be for MAC/65 or any other 6502 assemblers
because I can employ "sed" or "awk" scripts to do the major 
translations of these sources to my "PseudoSam" source format for my 
PC-compatible.

I logged onto about half a dozen BBSes in New Jersey last night, and
all I could find were .COM files, which I would rather not
disassemble. 

If anyone is interested, I would be glad to post my final code to
comp.sources.misc and announce that posting in this group.
Or, if anyone would like to work jointly, I'm game!

By the way, the discussion on the RS232-SIO cable connection in this
group is very interesting! If anyone would like to share knowledge on
this, this seems like the type of RS232 handler that makes the most
sense to me from an end-user cost standpoint, assuming other people
would be interested in using the Atari ROS (RS232 Operating System).
