Then I think we are back at the possibility to roll your own port using
74xx logic.

But is this true regarding PB or only PA of the 6526 and 6523? PB seems
to be used for various handshake signals and a few of them have
external pull-up resistors indicating that in some states both might be
set as inputs.

P.S. As I understand the schematics of the 8088 board, PB7 isn't used
on the 6523, and PC0-4 and PC6-7 is also unused. This gives me the
impression that a 6522 could be used, with the apropriate software
changes.
