I resemble that remark!

Not only that I am showing my age.  Having looked at the GPIO I thought "this is a job for a 8255", this would give one 24 lines and are (were) very cheap, however I do not think they make them any longer :(

However I have stumbled across an old circuit using 74LS151,138s 74154s and 7404 which should give 128 ins and 128 outs!  (It was for the BBC user port which had 10 lines.)

All the best
