Thanks!  I guess even the biggest carts are smaller than 64 kilobytes,
which means that one static RAM chip is enough for the cartridge.

Thanks for the tip!  I'll need the data lines for the application, though.
I have three low-dropout diodes (0.2 to 0.3 volts) that I will try to
apply to some unused outputs.  If I have to use a separate connector for
stealing power, I could as well use e.g. the cassette port on the PET
side.  I wonder why there is no +5V or even RESET line on the PET user
port.

Too bad there isn't any electronics shop nearby.  When I bought the parts,
there weren't any HC or HCT versions in stock.
