Installing the 65802 to my knowledge does not create any hardware problems. In general, the 65802 is more compatible with the 6502 than the 65C02 is because the instruction timings are correct - the bug fixes no longer add cycles to the instruction time. If anyone wants to know how to put a 65C02 into a II+, I can send the references you need..

I installed a 65802 in my IIe several years ago (before I went and upgraded it to a GS). I encountered no problems doing so, but of course, you're right that there's really no software for it. I bought it just to experiment with programming it. If that's what you want it for, I'd say Go For It!
