Didn't you forget about other command.com metacharacters [<>*?/] and
the colon? Also, deleted file names are marked with 0xe5 or something
like that in the first character of the file name.
By the way, I recently learned that VMS, which has a really funny way of
specifying directory paths, has a special file system that supports Unix-like
directory paths.

Have you set up a project page that could be linked to?
Yesterday I noticed that Microchip's PIC family of microcontrollers has been
extended by some USB capable ones, such as the 18F2455. The chips in that
family should be sufficient for a combined USB to IEEE-488 and serial bus
interface (and maybe cassette as well). Any takers? The same chip could
also be used for adapting Commodore keyboards to USB HID. The only open
question is: how do you flash the firmware over the USB? I didn't find any
Linux-related documentation for that.
