The Western Design Center Inc now own the design rights for the 6522 and
6502.  They used to have a form on their WWW site at http://www.wdesignc.com
where you could fill in for a pack of datasheets with basic data on the new
(20MHz!) 65Cxx(x) range.  I haven't checked recently, but it might be a good
place to start - they might have online datasheets as well.

Alternatively, you could try posting this request to the newsgroups, in
particular alt.comp.hardware.homebuilt or comp.arch.embedded.  Every so often
there are people clearing out datasheets who might be able to supply you with
a paper copy.

Hope this helps,
Theo
