Exactly, which is why I suggested hooking up to _CE and using a buffer. 
I am assuming that anything with a 2364 pinout is going to be the same 
speed or slower than something with a 2764 pinout.

If the 2364 you are using is actually powered up all the time decoding 
addresses and the _CE only turns on the output buffers then you could 
get away with just checking for (_CE | _OR ) == 0.
