To save space, there could be a radiobox for which one of them is

Enable RS232 serial port emulation for:

Write <port> output to file:
___________________________     [Browse]
Read <port> input from file:
___________________________     [Browse]
----------------------------------------
Where <port> changes based on selected radiobutton (if SDL GUI gets note
of those changes).


But currently Hatari does not emulate SCC-B input, so that would also be
misleading...
I would be totally OK if you just shade out the input prompt, who needs RS232 anyway. :D

While we are at the topic, I find it quite annoying that I have to select an existing file for both input and output. I get it - the idea was to select a real Linux device but if you just want a stupid file redirect... I have to create two empty files from which one isn't even used. Otherwise Hatari disables the redirection completely, even if I miss just one (input) file path.
