Ironically this seems to do more harm than good for the glue ;-)

I save one input on the _OE/_CE gate but then have to handle three states instead of two to distinguish between BASIC and KERNAL.. which so far seems to me like I can't make it with the same EPROM content layout and chip count I had before. With shifted content I came up with something like (still have to double-check for correctness):

Can you have a look? Maybe you have some better ideas, especially ones that would allow to keep the old EPROM content layout?
