A suggestion for would be card designers.  Design a test jig first!! At Rye
High we used a 6809 single board computer with two STD slots slaved to a PC.
By the end of the year only one board functioned correctly. Most of the boards
had various address or data line burned either high or low. The technician
spent most of his time replacing 6522's as well (ever wonder what happens if
you tie RTR to +12V? Apparently you aren't the only one.)
