Hello,
on weekends and late at night, I've been working on and off on a "BIOS" for the VersaBoard, which if anything else, will help a lot with debugging. Yes, you read that right, I created a command interface between the 7800 and the PIC. This involved PLD logic, PIC ASM and 7800 ASM. The 7800 uses an extra bit on the bankswitch latch, to latch in the data bit, the PLD monitors a magic address, tells the PIC about it and the PIC picks up the signal and grabs the latched data bit. It then issues a IRQ to the 7800 and does this in handshake for 8bits (size of the commands). Not sure about reading from the PIC yet, but if I get that to work, HEHE! 
The "GeekPorts" sure are handy, I knew it. They are configured like a breadboard on one side and jumper headers on the other (I used wire wrap sockets). None of the wires in the board are soldered in, except the IRQ line, no way around that.
I gotta lay back down for a bit, my back is killing me, I'll be back in a bit for a couple more pics. 
I will let pictures speak for themselves...
