Actually not, there are no CE or CS signals here.

But don't use Vcc, use INIT# instead.

We just need to learn how it looks during boot and how it is
connected on the two chips, then the U10 pads can be used to
fit a socket and T1/T2 pads used for the switching circuitry.

Too hard, better just use the ready made PLCC pads for a socket. :)
