Feel free to email them (Kaspersky says that URL has a virus, so I 
didn't try to work around it).  I whipped up a 15 minute untested 
design.  Will send to Mark.  I added the 3 high address lines on pads so 
someone can bank switch if they want.

Designing a soft-banking solution requires at least 2 ICs (a latch to 
hold the bank and something to combine IO1, R/W, and Phi2), should be 3 
(the C128 really needs the dual FF clock fixer circuit that Skoe and 
Martin Hoffmann-Vetter designed), and that started to sound like work...

So, it's 2 2764-512 footprints, 3 resistors (for the upper address 
lines), 2 caps, and 2 jumpers.  Seems pretty simple.
