8086??? Not even close!

Why would you want 128k of ROM with a 196? 

The 196 has a 64kb address space (except the newer versions which are
1 meg). If it is because you happen to have 128K memories laying around
(which is what I suspect), just tie off the address lines you don't need.

If you *really do* need 256K of memory, use some of the port pins to
do your bank switching (just tie them to the upper address lines).
Of course, you know you cant JMP or CALL (or even execute) accross
bank lines, right :-) ?.
