I am trying to add new I/O ports onto my c64 through the expansion port.  I
want them to look like the user port, only in a different address space.  I
tried duplicating the hardware (pull up resistors, etc.) and control lines
used in CIA 2 out the back of the expansion port.  But for the chip select,
I used I/O1 or I/O2 instead of CIA2 (which should map into $DF00 or $DE00).
Unfortunately, this did not work.  I get the handshaking line out the back of
the 6526 to flip, but the output data lines stay high.  Has anyone ever added
extra I/O ports onto the c64 and can offer suggestions?
