   > To be honest, a 65832 has no more in common with the Apple II than an ARM.   
   And having to bastardize the (poorly designed) 65832 just to make it somewhat   
   useful leaves a lot of questions as to what you're really trying to do and how   
   you'll do it. Not    
   saying you shouldn't, but you're suggesting a path that requires much magic to   
   happen vs taking the spiritual successor to the 6502 and making a pretty cool   
   environment. 32 bit GS/OS apps running at 1 GHz, anyone?   
      
   David, I know this reply is years late but better late than never! :P   
      
   Regarding your opposition to a 65832 implementation but liking the idea of   
   32-bit GS/OS apps (I like this too! :), what exactly do you have in mind when   
   you say "taking the spiritual successor to the 6502 and making a pretty cool   
   environment. 32 bit GS/   
   OS apps" given that the GS is a 16-bit platform? What kind of enhancements   
   would you make to the 65C816 to make that possible, and wouldn't the 65832   
   cover that base already or do I completely misunderstand?
