I'll do better than that; I'll give you two reasons

1) The space to fit two large 40-pin DILs is an issue. In the A500 the height must be considered so that the device fits beneath the RFI shield. This would result in different adapters depending on the target platform.
A way around the problem may be to use PLCC ROMs (smaller footprint) and a SMT pin adapter mounted on the bottom side...

2) This design does what I need...

And it took me some six hours to rout. Maybe some day in the distant future, when I have eons on time at my disposal, I'll give it a shot.

Regards,
Eriond
