Well, a standard eprom programmer would read the old adress when
A0/PHI2 is low, and when A0/PHI2 goes high the 6540 would output
correct content on the data bus. Thus you'll have to throw away every
odd byte from the readout, but every even byte would be fine. This
assumes that there are no noise on A1...Ax at the time A0 goes high.
