I thought about adding PETSCII support to my AI-WX door, but I came to the same conclusion you did. I fear it would be a LOT of work for a very small audience. Although if I get really bored and have time on my hands, I may re-visit it in the future. I may have been more apt to do it had I been a C64 owner in the past, but I was and still am a TRS-80 CoCo 1/2/3 user.
