Maybe you would be able to rip out the cassette tape stuff and actually
let it LOAD and SAVE right to ProDOS directly? Of course, you'd
probably need to support the PRINT D$;"DOS COMMAND"-style way of issuing
DOS commands since old programs would need this.
Having BASIC.SYSTEM already in RAM would deal with a lot of this, I think.
The disk image I linked to has a 22-sector (so, about 6K) B file called
INT. It doesn't need the language card, it sits right in the 48K area.
So it's prolly relocated. That solves one problem. I've mentioned the
other problem, INTBASIC stepping on ProDOS ZP globals. A little hacking
should fix that.
Then, there's the question of interfacing it to the running
BASIC.SYSTEM. That would be the biggest challenge, I think.
