I still haven't completly figured out how that signal works, but it has 
something to do with the R/_W signal and the variable clock frequency of 
the 8501.

Again, the ideal chip for a minimal 6502 system is a 6532 since it will 
supply you with lots of I/O, timer and 128 Bytes of RAM. That means all 
you need is the 6502, a 6532, an EPROM and possibly one or two 74LSxxx.
