Replacing even a single port of a 6821 or a 6522 with TTLs only sounds 
simple until you think about what this would really mean. I'd say a 6821 
or 6522 needs less space on the PCB than even a limited port setup using 
TTLs in DIP that supports direction change of the data flow.

I once thought about what it would take to replace the 6529 (which is 
VERY simple) used in the 264 series with TTLs and gave up after 5 TTLs.
