WDC, due to the number of requests, has made an exception for the 14MHz
65816 chips.  You may purchase with a money order, for the price of
the chip, along with shipping & handling.  The total is $25-30.

An easier way to get the chip, however, is to buy it from Alltech
Electronics, since they take credit cards (over the phone).
