I think a few people figured this out, have you noticed what they go for
on ePay?  Its easier and more flexible to just plug a 6522 (pretty cheap
from JDR) into a LittleProto board.  BTW, the LittleProto board rocks.

I have schematics for a 6522 Apple II interface card.

6522 has some neat features besides I/O ports

Its pretty much a direct connection. I just had to run phi1 through an inverter as the only other chip. Why didn't Woz include phi2 on the bus? One of the great mysteries. I agree with you and Michael that the timers and interrupts are great features - the reason I put mine together.
