Yes, but I need to disable _CAS for the RAM on the card in that range. 
There is no signal from the PLA that tells me that the current address 
is in I/O space. That would mean some I/O-Chip (like the 1551 paddle) 
and the RAMs would be active at the same time without that decoder.

Also, since TED has access to all 16 address lines, it does its own 
decoding for its register space, no external signal available.
