no....maybe ask andreas boose, his private debug built can do this if i recall 
correctly.

however, i would expect the delay beeing long and also unreliable with the rom 
routines - probably one reason why the builtin rs232 routines are that 
unreliable aswell.

apropos rom routines....since they (in the c64) "simulate" a ACIA anyway, you 
might simply see how they solved the irq stuff. (the rom routines in the b500 
or whatever should give an even better insight :=))
