Actually I have had the same sort of plans, but I was planning to start
with an easier chip - 6526. Although, work hasn't permitted me to devote
much time to it so it's still in the stage of just planning. I was going
to use 74HC-series chips, not TTL, though. And I wasn't going to waste
any time by using the simplest chips (74HC00), although that would have
a point too. It's just that then, a lot of time goes wasted,
constructing dozens of flipflops from NAND gates.

Also the PLA should be easy-ish to make in discrete logic.

Instruction decode using an EPROM will be much easier, yes - but how
complex would it be to make in hardcoded logic?
