You could use the Advantage bank switching style and modify your code in LADYBUG?.ROM to use the relative lower page instead of page 4.

Code:

       : page 8       : page 9       :
------ : ------------ : ------------ :
Bank 1 : OS4.ROM      : LADYBUG1.ROM :
Bank 2 : OS4.ROM      : LADYBUG2.ROM :

It will allow to use Ángel ROM's at the same time as yours.

Using the advantage's method is not really an advantage (put intended), in fact it'd be worse since it occupies two ports instead of one - so I don't see the need to change what already works ;-)

We can put the code in the Library#4, difficult due to its over-capacity state but not impossible if something else goes. The bigger question however is whether having that code in the library#4 and without the ladybug is compatible with the rest of modules also polling the I/O interrupt (OS/X, SandMath, CCD, AECRom, etc...).
