I didn't understand some things or am not sure I understood it right. Writing to and reading from the direction register returns all 8 bits right, yes? Writing to and reading from the data register only returns the connected bits right, yes? If so what do the other bits, return a (H)? I also assume that the above only concerns the 7501/8501 as AFAIK the 6510 and 8502 behave right, ie. returning all bits right for all registers. If the above is right, is there any software using this feature? IMHO I don't see any negative point in using a 6522 which does not behave like that. FYI, in 1988 I constructed a board with a 6502, 6526, buffers and glue logic for the C64. Worked fine. But lost the board during a move (?? changing house).
