A 2018 version of such a device should support turbo loaders, at least
JiffyDOS.

Btw in my fantasy world of feature creep, the ideal device would be a
combined "VIC-Switch 2.0", thee IEEE equalient "MBS-100" and interfaces
both way between IEEE 488 and the serial bus. Preferable combined with
letting the serial-IEEE interface hardware/software keep track of
prefered configuration for each computer, i.e. talk with the attached
devices and change their device ID and/or auto translate device
number. :)

It's more authentic using a real 6502 :) :)
