[tek.general] 6502 CMOS 16 bit replacement

dcall@dadla.UUCP (Dale Call) (07/19/84)

I have heard various rumors about a 6502 CMOS replacement chip that
has a 16 bit mode of operation, with a 16 bit instruction set different
from the 6502.  When in 6502 mode it acts like a normal 6502.  Does anyone
know about this chip and whether you can plug it into existing 6502
computers (apple II)?  Software??

Please mail responses to me and I'll summarzize to the net.

				Thanks in advance,
