I think that's the idea.  Nice find.

I have been burning PROMs and ROMs for 20 years.  I've _never_ seen the 68764
in any circuit I've seen at work or home.  It's not only obsolete, but rare.
Mostly, people took the 2716->2732->2764 route.  Commodore took a slightly
different path (2716->2532...) because of the pin differences with the 23xx
mask-programmed ROM series.

I remember getting 4K EPROMs burned for extra utilities for my PET (32K,
BASIC 2.0) and how hard it was to find 2532 chips that fit the motherboard
without buying a Skyles or other brand of ROM adapter.  I've saved every
2532 I've seen since (about 6 ;-)
