Right. But actually both chips are overkill, they have many more
capabilities than just a single I/O port. A chip like the 6529 would
better suit the needs, but it has the big disadvantage of not having a
data direction register. I think both the 6526 and 6522 are good enough
for testing the concept of the adaptor during prototyping.
