Most likely, one could use a parallel modern EPROM that is 
as fast as the old bipolar PROM.
Of course, the pinout would be totally different, probably 
in a larger size package with way more pins.

This one is 256K and 70 ns access time.

If you REALLY need it fast, Winbond has a 45 ns EPROM, but 
not in stock at Digi-Key.
That's their W27C512-45Z
