Could it be a broken 6522 (or is the PET tape port also driven by a 6520)?

If I remember correctly, the very first defect of my C64 was that it hung
when trying to write to tape.  Apparently, the 6510 on-chip I/O port had
been damaged so that when it tried to wiggle the CASS WRITE line, also the
memory configuration lines were being changed.
