One thing you guys should keep in mind is that for their black plastic Atari cart shells, Atari Age does indeed use existing Atari carts for parts; they offer to buy the common carts on their page for this reason.

You should really do something with the address lines, don't leave them floating, especially with CMOS ROMs. Either tie them to GND or VCC to select your 64k window, this will make doubling up the ROM redundant. Is there an issue connecting every pin to where it normally goes on the board after all...
