Lez' save some expense:  Set up two addresses for the 16bit port (which
would happen on a wide bus anyway);  Set the high address to load the latch
mentioned in my prior mail, and to NOT trigger chip select.  Then, set up
the low address up so that it triggers chip select. ;)

This can quite possibly be made into a general use circuit for a 16bit bus
(isa?), which can be banked into a small I/O region for such uses.

Note: if you're going to use the 65816, it might write the low byte first
when doing 16bit stores.  If so, simply latch the lower side, and trigger on
high. easy pickin's. =)
