I mean.. putting aside the mechanical complexity of the adapter required. 128Kx8 SRAMs seem to be easily available and far less expensive than a set of 4164s (or even 41464s) and 4114 these days. Where is the catch, if any?

[..] The LE-signal for the 74HCT573 is connected to _RAS. The OR-Gate takes _RAS and _CAS as inputs and the output is the _CS signal for the SRAM.

And then using the second half for colour RAM replacment will be as easy as ORing it with _CS for 4114, routing 4114's _CS to SRAMs A16 and ORing R/_W?
