Try this one ;)
Use a 64kx8 staic ram, hooked to the cpu's A14,15 and otherwise hooked to
the vic chip's control lines.  This will get you full vic access to all
expansion ram.

Now to un-decode the static ram while other devices are accessed ;)

All you have to do is take the chip select lines or the roms and the I/O
spaces, feed them to a huge NAND gate, invert the output, and apply to the
output enable and/or write anable lines :)

The chip selects can be swiped from the 74ls138's near the userport. two
ICs, 35k expansion ram.  With a couple more ICs, even bank-switchable for
another 16-24k.

It seems like a waste of memory space, but at a buck for a few million
bytes, what the heck? :)
