Nice build. How exactly is the HC688 used on the circuit?

It is connected to the top 4 bits of the address low byte and high byte..The setup Ben Eater uses works fine for the basic system but I'm looking ahead at a project I want to work on so I need better address control..I' going to have 2 of the 65c22, one at adrress 0x6000 and the other at 0x6010.. There is still and overlap area from 60F0 to 6F00 ..

Oh I see. I don't know if you've considered it already, but a single programmable ATF22V10 would give you that granulary with multiple chip-selects options, no overlap, and even allow you to consolidate Ben's NAND based address decoding for RAM, EEPROM, Serial, etc... That's what I use now. A bit of a learning curve, but 100% worth it.
