Apple II IO cards says to use 74LS245 tranceivers on the data bus.
Some, but not all IO cards use the '245 as specified. How much are
they really needed? I have at least one card without a '245, and it's
using a 6821 directly on the bus.

I wouldn't imagine you'd need to use the 245s if you've got a 6821 on the bus? Probably only need them if your I/O is going directly off-board!?!
