This is one of the key lessons that I learned from reverse engineering.  Do
NOT be tempted to innovate or deviate IN ANY WAY until the task is
completed.

It sounds boring, you want to do something new, be the innovator! but is
incredibly important NOT to do so.

Now you know why I recommended the 6502 not say the 6510, because the full
lithographic masks of the 6502 have been rev/engd and the netlist created,
to the point where there is now an online OPERATIONAL javascript 6502
simulator.

Hagen's suggestion of doing the IO ASIC, just as goid, because the verilog
source is available.
