I'm definitely up for one of these too. Great work.

When looking into the CFFA I pored over the documentation wondering if
disk images could be emulated somehow, but was disappointed that it
hadn't been thought of in advance. It's a great product, but this
wouldn't have been too hard to allow for as a future expansion.

About swapping disk images - I'm not a hardware guy, but if you had one
external pushbutton (think Wildcard), could you use DMA to stop the CPU
and read the keyboard for the image number?

Cheers,
Nick.
