Hi John Could you refer my questions to your resident Hardware wizard PauL Swanson. Has anyone out there ever tried to run the atari custom chips at a higher clock rate. They normally run at 1.79Mhz but the cpu can run at a full 2mhz. I'm thinking about replacing the 6502 with the 65816(The IIGs cpu). the 65816 can run at clock speeds between 1mhz and 4mhz. I know that the 65816 is not directly pin compatable with the Atari 6502c(Its in the Xl & XEs), but it should work thru the parrallel bus. Does anyone here in netland known of other 8/16 bit 6502 compatible cpu's. Also price list and distributors of the 65816 compatibles would be very helpful. William M.
