Yeah, it should be possible without any adapter board, but with a lot of wires. On the new Flash ROM chips, you'd have to bend up the A16, A17, A18, /WE, /OE, and Vcc pins on both chips, solder the matching pins on each chip together, then solder them to the CPU as well. The little adapter board certainly makes it easier.
