Having read the wishes of the others, what about an ISA- and/or
PCI-interface?

Then you can have AND network, AND SCSI, AND IDE, AND USB, and any other
PC-card, being able to use already available products. And those who need
drivers, many sources are available already.

In this case of the ISA-bus I can humbly offer you some documents with the
results of my research so far.
Hey, using a 65816 means no pageswapping :)

What I also realy would like is something that enables me to choose the
KERNAL I want to start up with. Now I use a big EPROM and some switches. I
also built a board which enables me to load my own KERNAL in SRAM and then,
after a Reset, using that as new KERNAL.
Having an harddisk attached, one could write a CONFIG file telling the
momentary KERNAL which KERNAL to load and to startup with.

Groetjes, Ruud
