The 298 mobo appears to have slightly different spacing as well. It's 
the same width as the 425, but taller like the 407, but not exactly the 
same height (a bit taller, from what I can see)

That's true, but my goal was to create an adapter for my 2MB/8MB SRAM 
expansion, which needs the address and data pins arranged in the same 
way as the CPU, to allow the various MMU addresses and data values to 
make sense. As such, I needed D0 on the motherboard to be D0 inot the 
SRAM module.

Which is fine if you're just making a board with some SRAM on it. But, I 
was making an adapter, and I didn't want to assume anything about the 
module that will be plugged in.
