Problem is, you can't really tristate an input. No matter what, you will 
always have the input stage visible as a load. Holds true with TTL too.

But the real question is, what signals of the 6510 are controlled by 
AEC? The 'A' stands for 'address', but does it also control other 
signals including the data bus? From the 'scope readings I'd say it also 
controls R/_W, but can't really say anything about the data lines.
