Actually, the user port is good for this. Handshaking will be the issue, in my opinion. You can easily put the data on PortB and read it, but how do you tell the uC the data is there to be read, and how do you know when data is available to read? On teh 6522, for example, the proper signals are CA1/CA2, but they are not on the user port. CB1/CB2 can provide the interrupts, but they're not as useful. > The reason I'd like decent transfer rate between C64 (or DTV) and the > uC: I'd like to use an uC with ethernet capabilities later.

You do need to ensure 2 more lines besides the 8 data lines (WRITE and READ, essentially). Everything else is details.
