Ron,
I did this with 6 programs back in 93 on a S15 Jimmy.  Used a 27C1024 and
burnt the programs in order, IE prog 1 from 0 to 128K, 2 from 128K to 256K
etc.  Hooked the lower address lines and all the data/power etc to the ECM
like a 27C128.  The additional address lines I sent to a thumbwheel switch.
 Used it to select the lines so the ECM saw whatever 128K block I needed it
to see.  Could switch it while running down the road without a hiccup.
