To late now, already done.  I dont know Verilog or VHDL, I liked using Xilix's 
schematics editor, all I had to do was draw my circuit and its done.  Sure the 
simple bankswitching could just be done with basic logic chip at RadioShack 
but, I wanted to support all bank switching types.  I am up to the XC95144, 
which has a ton of gates, but not all are dedicated to bank switching.  I also 
want to work in Pitfall II and Starpath, maybe someday.
