Yes, such a thing converts in both directions in an universal way, often
only signal driven (without any complex register programming, as far as
I have understand the datasheet of the AY-5-1013A). Probably not a good
idea (uncommon, not to say unstable) if the system bus would be connected
via a flat cable ...
