MACH chip question

Back to the Mach chip issue and speed on the A/B card, can someone give
some details about them?

My card has a total of 8 surface mount Mach chips. I have found
a higher rated replacement, but 8 is way to many for me to consider
removing them and installing sockets.

I assume these do some bus/address decoding. Does each chip contain
different code, or are there 8 of the same to handle all the lines?
If they are the same, I could desolder one, copy it, and just piggyback
a socket ontop the rest (disabling the power to the smt ones).
