[Coco] CoCoEPROMpak v1.0.1: 8k banking support + LED

[Chad H]

very nice! but I'm imagining a single unit that can dial-in from a library of ROM images, say from a SD card slot.  Im thinking it will have to preload the image into some sort of parallel Flash or SRAM as accessing the serial devices, especially SD card, would be too slow.  I've got to figure out a combination I can work with.

But then, if you have something like an Arduino connected to the board, then maybe you can also use it for other interesting functions besides ROM bank selection?
