I agree, and think that there isn't much spirit related to a simple three port PIO chip in a hires card, but the video generation hardware (especially as seen from the software/firmware) is definitively part of the spirit. Also it's more "authentic" to use components that were available at the time, which the 8255 definitively were. -- (\_/) Copy the bunny to your mails to help (O.o) him achieve world domination.
