The 6530 and 6532 are very close in functionality.
Nearly the same timer, 2 8 bit I/O ports, RAM.
With an external ROM and some clever addressing logic many 6530’s have been replaced with a 6532.
Here some examples:
- Corsham replacement board for the KIM-1
- Eduardo Casino 6530 replacement board for the KIM-1
- Retrospy Technologies 6530 replacement
