isn't what you did go "against" the latch action? I mean, if you make
sure R/W  stays low
only on phi0 high (which a 6502's core should already do anyway), you
are just defeating
the R/W low lengthening that happens because of the gated latch. Or am
I wrong again?
When I have a working CPU again, I was also thinking of upgrading the
RAM on my C16, but I might just use 2 x 64kx4 drams,
that seems just easier than converting all for SRAM interfacing.
