True to a point. But I found it a lot easier to
use a 6522 in a Z80
system than to use a Z80-SIO in a 6809 machine.
To be accurate, the 6522 is a 6500-family chip. But I take your point and also observe that it depends on the chip.
Interfacing an 8237 to a
6800 or a 6828 to an Intel CPU is not something I'd relish.
What';s the 6828? I suspect the 6829 would be very hard to use with
anything other than a 6809 (it.s the MMU for the 6809). Not a common
chip, but I have seen it.
