I've used 350 ns in the '80 WO problems. What the problem can be is that EPROMs sometimes "age", get slower. My Junior did not want to run at 1 MHz with a 250 ns (!) 2764 but did on 500 KHz. A new one of 350 ns worked fine. I advise you to make the adapter. In this way you can use up to the 27512 ie. 8 Kernals in 1 EPROM.
