What about option E -- floppy emulator? This seems like it would have
broad compatibility (GC, SGC, maybe my QXL included), and I'm betting
most original QL owners do have floppy drive controllers.. Plus, this
more or less exists already, unless this is meant as an academic
exercise.

I have already tested and successfully used this interface with the QL
as well as host of other computers - instructions for using this SD
card interface with the QL appeared in the November 2010 Quanta magazine.
You can purchase the interface through me at

This is very nice, but still has the disadvantage to require swapping
disks all the time - even virtual ones.
