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

  (f)     R/W -> |03  18| ?? NC
  (f) CPU A14 -> |04  17| -> NC (latched value written to D6)

  (fr) CPU A1 -> |06  15| -> NC
  (fr) CPU A0 -> |07  14| -> NC
  (f) PPU A11 -> |08  13| <- CPU D6 (fr)
  (f) PPU A10 -> |09  12| -> to TC0190 pin 38
          GND -- |10  11| <- GND (PAL /OE signal)
                  ------

PALs allow the programming of arbitrary logic functions, but in the PAL16R4, pins 1 and 11 have fixed functionality. 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.
