Yeah, maybe the Raspberry Pi Pico is the way to go. they come in DIP-40 like packages and are fairly cheap. Plus, they are 133 MHz. Not really 5V tolerant but I think that's fixable with a diode and a pull up resistor on each RPIP input. We really only need 6 of the 7 connections (SP0256 outputs) converted from 5V to 3.3V. The remaining one is an input to the SP0256 and should not be an issue.
