It sounds to me like your next stop will be here although you won't be able to exceed AmigaOS 3.1 with that 68000 processor... even if you do boost it with this.

Yes, a CD32 ROM would be useless.  A CD32 is a 32-bit machine.  The A500 is 16-bit.

FastFilesystem in 1.3 only worked on harddrives.  The support for floppies requires KickStart 2.04+.  I admire your attempts at bringing an A500 up to date with simple hacks but you can only get so far.  :-(
