What chips can I use to program new ROMs for a Colo(u)r Classic or Colo(u)r Classic II?

Hello everyone, I am trying to make some new ROMs for colo(u)r classics and I figured I'd ask what chips work. I was thinking maybe an 27C400 but I'm not sure. I know to program these chips you have to have the little adapter board. However, I am skeptical as to what may or may not work and as such any ideas or comments are greatly appreciated!

27C400 should be correct for the CC

ISTR you need to byteswap the image before programming it, but it's been a while since I have done it so I might be wrong there..... If you have at leas tone working ROM chip you can just dump it as a 27C400 to find out
