Yes, if you want all 8 banks in use.  BUt, you can just use the lower 4 
inputs for a '256.

Well, I sent BASIC, CHARROM into the 0,1 lines of the '148.  !GS drives 
!CE and !OE on the EPROM, while the A and B lines go to the A13 and A14 
lines of the EPROM.  A12 is handled wither with the NAND gates or the 
'257, nothing new to report there.

Setting up 2 KERNALS means bringing '148 lines 2 and 3 to the ends of a 
3 pin header.  Middle pin goes to !KERNAL  shorting one half will shunt 
KERNAL to one of the two address lines.  It does require 1 more resistor 
than the '11 solution, as it requires both the 2 and 3 lines of the '148 
to be pulled weakly high, but the wiring is simpler.
