I mentioned the same with the XTIDE cards people have made. Booting off the
memory card is good, but with the sounds of a hard drive spinning up etc,
and seeking it would be way better!

I would suggest, somewhat facetiously, one small enhancement for a
future version: a small speaker with the ability to play a soundtrack
synchronised to the various commands. The eerie silence of SDs is
unnerving compared with the original cacophony of sounds that come
from old drives.
I'm glad someone else suggested that. :-) Without the noise it just isn't
the same, somehow. I think I'd be tempted to at least retain a drive in the
host machine even if it was non-functional (but spinning), just for the
noise - but that doesn't help with configurations which don't start the
spindle motor at power-on.
cheers
