My 150ns for example never booted to BSOL nor showed the IDE64 mysterious screen. 120ns behaves similar to 200. While it doesn't make much sense, I still tried uncoupling the _CS from _OE but as expected there was no difference in behaviour.

Thinking aloud as I don't have a scope here at hand to verify.. could it be that PLA's outputs are not fully compatible with the LS inputs? When sinking off the original ROMs there are no pullups nor anything else on the way. Maybe we need something when connecting those outputs to the LS?
