Could someone give me the name of the manufacturer of the 65816 chip?  I'd like
to get a data book on it.  Thanks.

	Western Design.  From the Data Sheet I have (in
_Programming_the_65816_ _Including the 6502, 65C02 and 65802_ [Eyes, Lichty]):

	The Western Design Center
	2166 East Brown Road
	Mesa, Arizona 85203
	(602) 962-4545

	Good book... Get it.

Why go to Western Design Center for the Data Sheet on the 65816?  If you buy
the Eyes/Lichty book (Programming the 65816, etc.), the data sheet info is
reproduced in the back of the book.

Sheet is most likly free.

Thanks for the info on the 65816 folks.  I have one question on the books
people have recoemnded; how complete are the data sheets?  I am primarily
interested in timing, signal explanations, and clock cycles for the
instructions.  I want to make some comparisons to other processors.
