If we just want to emulate a cartridge, then FPGA has memory so it will just serve as a ROM chip. But it can be programmed to act as REU as well. Or an Ethernet interface, or USB host, a Z80 card even. It can be anything.

Isn't it more or less what both the 1541U and Chameleon does? And they are open sourced too.

Please build that ROM replacement for me instead ;-)
