PCE/TG modification questions...

more stupid questions. please bear with me.

i was cruising the Turbo List homepage, and looked thru the files. i finally
found the one i was looking for: the instructions for modifying a US Turbo
to play PCE hucards. the mod involves a switch, which looks rare, not to
mention complicated. my question is, can i just reroute the wiring, and
leave out the chip? i've got about 6 TG systems (of course i have one hooked
up in the living room, and one in the bedroom), so i can definitely spare
one for the mod. anyone know how reliable this would be, if at all?

in case anyone's wondering, i already have a CoreGrafx, so i don't need to
simply play PCE cards. as i mentioned in an earlier post, i've purchased a
Turbo CD unit, which of course won't play Super CDs. many have told me that
an Arcade Card Pro contains both additional RAM, as well as the Super System
3.0 bios. they also mentioned that said ACP is more often cheaper than a US
3.0 card, which, through my searches, has proven to be true.

ideally, what i'd like to do is modify a TG16 to accept PCE hucards. then i
could purchase an ACP, and attach my Turbo CD in order to play Super CDs.
i'm fairly okay with a soldering iron, and this seems cheaper than either
buying a convertor (which seem to have become atrociously expensive as of
late), or laying out the fat cash for a 3.0 card. what's everyone's thoughts
on all of this? any and all replies will be immensely appreciated!!
