   "Every input"?  You have one input for the signal to be routed, and
   one input for selecting where it goes, right?

   It seems to me that a 1-to-2 demux is such a simple building block
   that most people would prefer building their own from gates.  A
   quad-NAND would do nicely in your case (if my assumption is right,
   and your mentioning a '139 is just the drugs talking):


               +------------|-.________
      ___      |          +-|-'  ROM CS
  ROM/RAM sel  |          |
  -------------+-=| )-------|-.________
  ___________             +-|-'  RAM CS
  chip select             |
  ---------------=| )-----+
                 ^
                  signal connected to both inputs, so = inverter


   Or I could just have misunderstood what you meant, YMMV, IANAEE
   (yet), etc.  Surely you would only need half (or "a quarter") of a
   139 for this, and not two?

   Your ASCII skillz are obviously better than mine.  :-)
