Does anyone know if the 65802 is available yet? When I called Western Design Center in Mesa Arizona in fall of last year they sent me some literature and were prepared to take $100 from me in return for a promise to deliver a 1MHz sample but I didn't believe that they really had any samples so I didn't order. Has anyone ordered? Did you get your sample yet? Does it work in an Apple? Apple 2e? If anyone has the answers to any of these questions please mail to me. Post to this newsgroup, too - I'm sure that this chip is of sufficient general interest. Doug Collinge.

There has been some discussion lately about replacing 6502's in Apple's with 65802's. I don't understand what this accomplishes. Is the 65802 faster? If so, how does the rest of the computer keep up? Someone mentioned that there are many extra instructions but you can't use them unless you are programming only for yourself (and perhaps the very few others who have also made the upgrade). Am I missing something? Jack Goldstein utcsri!uthub!goldste
