I bought (not received yet) a 65c02 to do this experiment as well, so
your details are much appreciated.

If you can give the exact cap-values, I know what to dug out and solder
into the machine, in case the 6502/65c02 switch doesn't work from start.

I'll have the same and need to do some resolder connections on all
wires, as these are very unreliable. Good to know about the possible
differences between the two banks of RAM.

This kind of exact information is always helpfull I reckon! 
Thanks Eelco.
