Cool idea.

Just a couple of points. The (sadly half-complete) Apple II Game
Server does this ... detects RWTS and replaces it with serial
routines. It works for a number of whole-disk DOS 3.3 RWTS-using
games, but a larger number didn't work for reasons as yet unexplored.

Also, the //c will need to be special-cased to turn off interrupts.
E.g. the firmware implements a keyboard buffer which uses interrupts
and stores keys in aux RAM.

Cheers,
Nick.
