This looks pretty straight forward, from what I can tell.
To use the ports as inputs, you need to set DDRA and/or DDRB to 0. In the
ACR, you need to decide if you want the IRA and IRB registers to either be
whatever they are when you read them (bits 1 & 0 == 0), or if you want
whatever is on the pins to be latched on a clock edge on CA1 or CB1 (bits 1
& 0 == 1). By my reading, you can setup all pins as inputs, all as outputs,
or any mixture. The inputs attributes as set by the DDR and the IR
registers will apply to all pins that are inputs, and the reset subject to
the output rules.
The 6522 is at some base address in memory, say $C800, and occupies 16
sequential addresses. That part I'm pretty sure you already know. Here's a
link to some .tif scans from Rockwell. I couldn't find anything better in
my few minutes of searching.
