??? I don't get it.
64K chips? The 11/23 currently uses the 2716, which is what? 2K (bytes)? 
I doubt there are any more address lines going to that chip in the first 
place, and second, the memory is mapped in the I/O space which have a 
total of 8K, and that should cover not only the boot rom, but also all 
CSRs of all devices you have in the machine. A 64K chip is going to be 
totally meaningless.

So why are you looking for a 64K chip? (27512 I would assume that would 
be...)
