On the other hand, the 6526 is also used in the C64 and C128 and the 
6525 can be found in the 1551 and CBM-II series. So it might not be a 
bad idea to design them as seperate cores so they can be used for 
replacing dead chips in the other systems. Especially nice would be a 
28pin version of the 6525 since that one is used in the 'paddle' of the 
1551, usually labeled '6523T'.
