I saw the snippet that Olaf posted with dongle_values.  If it only needs to 
loop a fixed sequence, how about an EPROM and a counter?  The counter would be 
connected to the address lines of the EPROM and would increment by one on each 
6702 read.  It would also need a little logic to reset the counter at the end 
of the sequence.

It seems that the 6702 is only for protection and is only used by the Waterloo 
disks.  It may be easier to remove the protection from the disks than to build 
a replacement.

Mike
