OOPS. Didn't noticed that.

The 6502->8501 design is based on my 6502->6510 design. And the 6510 has a
data-direction register. (Although I wonder if it is used ever again aftre
the first initialisation) AFAIK the 8501 has a DDR as well. So the 6529
won't do. Just try to design the I/O-port only using plain TTL-IC's. It is
possible but you need a lot of IC's. And THAT is the reason I choose for the
6522/6526: saving space and less soldering to do.

Just curiousity: what do you have in mind to replace the port?
