Check out the 82C55.  In a 40 pin package, it has 24 bits of digital
bidirectional I/O, and can be bit- or byte- addressed.  It's cheap (like $4
or so in quantity).  The 40-pin DIP package is big, but not compared to 3
20-pin DIP packages which it can replace.  The 44-pin PLCC is nice and
small.

If there was a way to build 24
digital-in/digital-out/analog-in/analog-out lines (where they could be
pro grammed by setting a register) that would be so fantastic as to
make one's robotic he art weep with joy.

Chuck, can you suggest the appropriate chip?   Anyone?
