I have read about people who tried that, but it's surprising that they said 
it worked. They are far from the same pinout wise.

I doubt that any type of device used 'em since they'd use 65C02s if the
pinout was such, or a 65816 if they needed the instructins 'n stuff. They
were meant to upgrade old computers, mainly Apple IIs I suspect, but that
never really materialized.

when I was calling around trying to buy one. It's still in my //e.
