I don't know if it's gated; the CS' logic is programmed into a GAL and I
really don't know if it pays attention to sync with Phi2.

Finally, I found a more obvious example that could be examined easier.
This is the interface plug of the 1551 floppy drive. It is in fact a
small interface card that connects to the expansion port, with a 6523
TIA that handles all tasks of data communication. The firm should have
also solved problems (if occured) when designing this board.
