Why can't you believe that the CIA chip select has to run tru the cartridge 
?
Like I said, I reversed engineerd this schematic with a MAX machine in front 
of me.
Why commodore did it that way beats me, I can't think of an application that 
would benefit from a disabled CIA.
The circuit on the R/W line of the PLA looks like a buffer with a RC filter, 
not sure why it is needed.
Maybe to filter out some of the noise on the R/W line?
