This would be an absolute blast! I've been thinking about how to do this with my 68000 design and have a couple of ideas already. On my Rev 2 PCB I'm considering adding a footprint for "something" for this purpose.
My idea is to use the "DiagArea" as part of an attached to an I/O device (virtual in your CPLD) linked in by the expansion.library. With this, you can have a small -4, -8 or -16 bit ROM which bootstraps (with existing KS ROM) reading from the SD card an "Image.bin" to FastRam (preserved during reset) and then resets the Amiga again to boot the KS from FastRAM. I actually think this is how the Blizzard Turbo Cards actually do it (can someone confirm this???).
Sooooooo many ideas! Do you think working on Amiga hardware can be a full time job?
