If I have read the schematic correctly :

The internal mem chips have their o/p passed through 470R resistors
before reaching the Z80 and the connector.  So as long as it is normal
memory being read then any external device should be able to override
the memory data.  

If it is a read of the ROM then you need to assert ROMCSL & ROMCSRL to
turn off the ROM. Dunno if you could do that fast enough to be effective
within one read cycle though.

I'm sure some one will be along in a moment to prove me wrong.
