How would a developer board actually work? Would it download code via
parallel or serial or what? Would it require a PC slot?
Extended debugging control can really only be provided with a 2600 chip
emulator system ala the various "FROBs" that were used in the golden era.
Doug Neubauer built one of these himself as an ISA card for developing 16K
carts. I have emailed him on this subject and maybe his design could be
reused. This was back in the dawn of the PC era, of course, so I guess
ironically it's a good thing that the DOS, the PC, and ISA slots are still
there....
