A 65802 *might* work - Apple II's and early clones are somewhat
finicky with their timing, and as a result the CMOS parts often fail
to operate without swapping a couple of other LS parts for faster
HC's.

I'd recommend not trying it until the machine works correctly to avoid
introducing another problem. Tristan - if you need a spare '02 drop me
an email with your snail mail address and I'll send you one - I've got
quite a number of them sitting around.
