A general comment : If you're missing an entire data or address bus, it's 
more likely you're missing an enable signal than all 16 or 18 drivers for 
whatever set of lines have failed at once. So I'd do essentially what 
you're doing (trace the lines backwards towards the source), then start 
looking at enables for whatever stage seems to have failed.
