Try changing to 5K or even 10K (what I always use for pull ups/downs in
TTL work. I think you're burying the poor PICK CHECK signal. Actually
all the resistors oughta be 10K, IMHO.
I'll certainly try that. But I'm wondering why that should be necessary
when the 6522 data sheet says that particular pin is a TTL level output.

I would think that you would be better off to use a pull-up resistor when
connecting a TTL output to a MOS input (even a supposedly TTL compatible MOS
input), since even totem-pole TTL outputs are weaker at pulling up than
down. A 1K _pullup_ is fine...
