27C512 EPROM in a C128

Hej allihopa!

I thought I should follow Nicolas Welte's instructions on how to replace
the 23128 ROMs in a flat C128 with 27C512 EPROMs. I really don't know
anything about how EPROMs work (more than how to program them that is).
Nicolas writes in the article:

OK, so I have to connect a switch to the pin that supplies A15 on the
27C512 (pin 1) to be able to switch in the upper 32K of the EPROM. I get
that. But where shall I connect the other pole of the switch?

P.S. Nicolas, I've bothered you enough the last few weeks, so I thought
I'd give you a break and let the other people on the list help me out
here.
