Commodore 64 Ultimate Cartridge project

Hello!

Working on several hardware add-ons for CBM-II made me thinking about 
doing a similar thing for Commodore 64. Specifically, an ultimate 
cartridge pack with the following:

* Small EPROM with bootstrap.
* 16kB RAM.
* SD card interface.

The bootstrap would load a selected cartridge image from the SD card 
into RAM, then reboot the computer to utilize this RAM as cartridge.

Do you think there would be market for such thing? I know that there are 
several similar projects already, but they a) require the user to solder 
and/or reprogram it itself and b) do not have the ease of use that 
loading cartridge images from SD card brings.

Regards,
Michau.
