I don't have any pointers for you. But whatever you end up getting that thing to do, be sure to let us know. :-) -Mitch

The port would be earlier than the 16450 natch. Probably an 8250 or something like that. The disks are special format. I had thought they were 8 inch on some machines. CP/M format could be read by DOS at one time in 5 1/4 of I am not mistaken. CP/M was rich in commands. Better than DOS by far. I would say that the serial port could take a 300, 1200, or even 2400 baud acoustic modem. It probably has a one byte buffer. An option for IO is tape drive. Tandy machines would all read audio 4 track tape drives.
