hmmm... thanks for the info. I won't be needing interrupts for this
application. The serial port was to save a 7474 chip, but since I need one
flip-flop anyway, I can use the other.

This explains why my attempts to interface an LCD controller directly to the
bus using the 6502 method in the datasheets was such a failure :(
Had I known, I would have implemented this simple circuit! Is this part of
one of your schematics? Should be part of the hackers-bible.
