(I'm replying to a thread on the mailing list)

Just an FYI, Western Design Center has a reputation of not responding
to emails.  If you want to order something it's best to pick up the
phone and call.

Also, WDC does not manufacture a 100+MHz 65816.  Any parts running at
that speed are custom ASICs using a licensed 65816 core.
WDC makes most of their money that way.

A 6809 with a larger memory buss like the 65816 sounds attractive but
I would not want to implement it in the same manner.
