Agree, but it might be worth the effort to have a look at emulation the
interrupt logic too, if it's not too much trouble.

Afaik the interrupt logic is only used in one place in the CBM-II
series and nowhere else, so if we are short on cells in some kind of
programmable logic it might be okay to just emulate enough to make the
CBM-II work with the existing kernal, if that even can save something.

(It would probably be a saving to hard code the replacements as 6523's
or 6525 with interrupt controller always enabled).
