The 8520 can be bought as spare parts at any commodore dealer.  It is made
by MOS technologies? (owned by Commodore?).  It is basically the
same as (forgot number, but its the multifunction/parallel IO chip) in the
commodore 64 and 128. There is plenty of published info in various books on
the 64 and 128.  I can't recall the differences between the two, but they
were unimportant.
