Why not concatenate the files and write them to a 27c128, then use a switch to activate the highest address line (tie A13 pin 26 to either Vcc or gnd) instead? Cleaner than piggybacking.
I want to use the original rom chip and I already have a 27C64. Its a great option amd thanks for the info. Also i wowouldnt be ppiggy backing. I have 3 ZIF sockets that I plan on using. I want to put one one the board if it fits then put two on a bare pcb and make it plug onto the board so I can have it in a modular kinda format

the "hard" way here is pretty impractical unless you route and print a pcb yourself, or find one already built. Something like this but for your size of chip. Otherwise you're going to run like 60 jumper wires connecting all the zif sockets up. Piggybacking would be simpler at that point!
When I want to dual boot program code (using the double-sized chip method), I try to find an unused dip-switch on the board and use that as my toggle since it's already connected to Vcc/gnd.

Yeah i know i plan on making my own circuitboard with a copper board and tthat ferrite solution or whatever its called. I have plenty left over from the last time i drew one up. If that for some odd reason wont work ill just make the 48 or so connections. I dont mind that either. So would I be abke to just toggle the vcc?
Is that safe to switch between the chips, by toggling on or off the ce, of one or the other chip, in a piggy backing style too?
