IEC Printers are a bit more of an issue. I wouldn't bother with trying to cache real floppy disks, some kind of direct d64/d71/d81/dnp/dhd support would be interesting though (something like ultimate 64 soft iec hyper speed kernal). If people want to image the disks on a c64, you can do that in software. Being able to slow down to 1mhz is necessary whatever else you plan to do anyway.
