    Any leads appreciated

    Another somewhat simpler approach is to find a 65802 processor--an 8-bit interface 65816 in a package with pinout compatible with the 6502.

    They used to be medium available, but are now pretty rare.

    I used a 65816 in my platinum //e without an adapter for many years. Yes,
    the pin outs don’t match completely, but it worked.

    A2Heaven have a 65C816 -> 65C02 board for $35
