   I'm in the process of building a simple 68k-based single board
computer.  I was originally going to use a couple of 68230's for the
I/O lines on the thing, untill I discovered that none of the supply
houses I use seem to sell the things.  I happen to have a bunch of
Intel (shudder) 8255 chips laying around from a senior design project
a few years back.  How do I go about hooking these critters up to 
the bus of the 68k?  Has anyone done this?  Are there any terible
pitfalls I should look out for?  If there is any interest, I'll 
post my results.
