If the expansion port doesn't carry the signals to do it cleanly (like a 'only disable internal ROM' or the trick Sinclair used), then you can't do it, simple as that. Everything else makes assumptions that might or might not be true on all systems (see SX64 problems) and in my book that's not a clean design.
