Yeah, as long as enough of the address bits pass through the CPLD. I
think A11-A15 needs to pass through the CPLD to be able to remap screen
memory for PET emulation.

I realize that you at least anyway need to imput all address lines to
decode $0/$1, so that won't be any problem.

Are any address lines (except the bank lines) going through the CPLD or
do they just also go directly from CPU to CPU socket?
