Yups; my 'original' Bs already have that done, for socket E, via cut
tracks and links on the underside of the motherboard. If I need to do
it to another one, I'll just solder to the legs of the chip! (62256s
were somewhat more expensive, back when I did the first ones, and so I
treated them more gently!)

plugged it into a cub did I find out it was inverted..
