Does anybody out there know if the 65832 is near completion? And, if so, does Apple plan to use it in a "Super GS"? The use of the 65832 would certainly call for a Super GS. Perhaps Apple could even design the computer at a decent speed ;-). Tim

The 65832 is suppost to be pin compatable with the 65816. You could (if you could get one) just throw it in your GS. Acording to the tech sheet for the 65816 the the main diffrence will be that the '832 will add 32-bit operations. Anyone know a good source of 65802's? "Last night I had that dream again. I dreamt I had to take a test, in a Dairy Queen, on another planet."

If the 65832 is a true pin-compatible with the 65c816, then that's bad news to me. It of course would mean that we'd live with a 16-bit bus for a 32-bit processor. I would hate an architecture if it is limited by only the bus. 16 bits is fine for now. Just give me the speed.
