Reverse Engineering WarpSpeed

I was working on creating a schematic for the WarpSpeed cart, and I am 
struggling to figure out how the cart works.  My schematic is at:

I've placed the original pictures I received in the dir as well.  Since 
the original bare PCB scans were not great, I've asked for someone to 
mail me a PCB so I can scan it.

That said, I don't understand the 74LS109 operation.  Any thoughts are 
appreciated.  I don't need to know per se, but I am very curious.

On the reverse engineering, the designer did a bit of obfuscation in 
order to make board layout easier.  The ROM is a 16kB one, with data 
lines and address lines crossed.
