That makes sense. I think Mark should reflect this in his overview 
document, because I was led to believe otherwise.
I don't intend to do any more work on this, but I'd like to let you know 
that I've got the Wizard of Wor 16kb cart working with the diode hack 
and roml connected to A13 with the Simple64Cart. A footprint for those 
extra diodes, resistors and tracks is useful. The cart does have a lot 
of free area also.

Another question, what was the A13 jumper for ?

I made a video explaining things https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESA1ahmcmZY
