Hi Bill
Here is a whacky idea: would it be possible to use a chip like a PIC16F13145 with CLCs (configurable logic cells) for the logic and built in Flash to store the SP0256 ROM data?

https://www.eejournal.com/article/tiny-fpga-in-microchips-la test-pic16-microcontroller-adds-real-time-speed-sells-for-le ss-than-50-cents/

Put the logic in the CLCs and store the data in the Flash. Then it would be only a single 20 pin DIP part for both logic and ROM data. Burn the PIC16F in your programmer in one operation.

Maybe it would work? Thanks, Andrew Lynch
