16-bit with 24-bit address bus.  (The 6502 by your spec would have
been a 16-bit CPU.  Sorry.)

There may be a way to hang another bag on the side of the '816 and add
a 32-bit mode.  WDM anyone?  We could make our own CPU!

BTW I have thought about creating a completely new CPU based on a
conflation of the 6502, 68000 and 8086 (!) processor opsets.  Perhaps
a test could be to stuff it on a daughtercard with a hard drive
controller and write a 'nix for it.  (It would be a 32-bit CPU)
