The 16MB of address space will be broken up into 8 2MB chunks by a 74LS138 3-to-8 decoder.

0MB: 0x00000000 - 0x000FFFFF ROM 1 MB
1MB: 0x00100000 - 0x001FFFFF Reserved 1 MB, possible future use for more memory mapped I/O or VRAM, etc.
2MB: 0x00200000 - 0x003FFFFF Memory Mapped I/O 2 MB
4MB: 0x00400000 - 0x00FFFFFF Static RAM 12 MB

Memory mapped I/O area from 0x00200000 - 0x003FFFFF will be broken down with another 74LS138 into 8 256KB chunks or maybe with a 4-to-16 decoder for 16 chunks.

Here is my WIP memory decoder showing flash ICs and one SRAM. 74LS138 in lower left will be replaced with a 1-to-2 decoder, I just didn't see one in the component library and didn't feel like adding it.
