Maybe, but I wouldn't call it a *"design flaw"* in Jim's adapter, especially
if saving another few ma might cause issues at higher speeds. As I said, if
it's an issue for you then just add a jumper.

Besides, G's 74LS11 will use up almost half that power saving ;-)

Anyway, the point that's gotten lost in this somewhat picayune discussion
was that instead of making your own 23xx ROM replacement board with pins &
socket and a 74LS11, one of Jim's adapters will do nicely with maybe one or
two minor mods, and also save considerable power.
