to get the "ready" signal you need to connect one diode. There are various solutions on aminet that include simple pcb for RDY. I tried that one diode solution and it worked for nonDOS game that required it (Super Cars 2).
The diode is really cheap (less than 1 dollar) and can be bought almost anywhere.
and YES, catweasel would be best solution if you are rich, (total rip-off)
