Yes.

Humm, if you�re thinking about only disabling the BIOS upgrade itself,
the answer is yes. Even better, you could instead use a switch on the
/CS signal from the EPROM soquet (pin-20).

Anyway, IMHO there�s no advantage of doing this, because disabling the
MSX-Audio BIOS make so much sense as disabling the MSX-Music BIOS on a
FM-PAC cartridge: The BIOS does not interfere with anything, it just
"sits" there, waiting for you to use it. Much better than the anoying
Philips MusicBox Editor EPROM.

But if you want some way to "disable the upgrade and get the Anoying
Philips MusicBox back", then it�s not that simple. To run the MusicBox
Editor after the BIOS upgrade, is easier just load it in RAM using
ExecROM, LoadROM, etc.
