Taito TC0190: 0.6" high-density PDIP (Canonically iNES Mapper 033)

Some boards added a PAL to the TC0190. As far as we can tell, the only purpose of the PAL was to move the mirroring control bit. This becomes a subset of iNES Mapper 048 instead:

TC0190 pin 30: (was CIRAM A10) now NC
TC0190 pin 38: (was /ROMSEL) now from PAL pin 12

                 PAL16R4
                  --\/--
  (F) /ROMSEL -> |01  20| -- Vcc
  (F) /ROMSEL -> |02  19| -> CIRAM A10 (F)
  (F) PRG R/W -> |03  18| ?? NC
  (F) PRG A14 -> |04  17| -> NC
  (F) PRG A13 -> |05  16| -> NC
  (F)  PRG A1 -> |06  15| -> NC
  (F)  PRG A0 -> |07  14| -> NC
  (F) PPU A11 -> |08  13| <- PRG D6 (s)
  (F) PPU A10 -> |09  12| -> to TC0190 pin 38
          GND -- |10  11| <- GND (PAL /OE signal)
                  ------

PALs allow the programming of arbitrarily logic functions, but in this model, pins 1 and 11 can only be used for one thing. This is why /ROMSEL is connected to both pins 1 and pin 2: pin 1 can only be used as a clock input to latch the value of D6, but /ROMSEL is also connected to pin 2 so that the PAL can fail to pass through the write to the TC0190 when the CPU writes to $E000.
