How do you do the selection?  I can see turning off the level shifters 
by deselecting the 16211 bus transceivers, but how do you turn on series 
resistors?  Are they just always populated in parallel with the bus drivers?

I ask because I am working on a C64/128 expansion port (think CMD EX3 or 
FB-EX3, etc.).  I've been asked to put some bus drivers on the board to 
clean up the C64 bus.  SOme other designs are using '541s and 245s, but 
those have way too long of latency.  The 16211 looked interesting 
because it only has a tiny < 1ns latency, but I would prefer a way to 
deselect it if someone finds carts that do not like it.
