Too bad you can't do like I did ten years ago. I wanted a 65802 so I called
around the electronics places until I reached CMD. They're one of the sources
who made 65C02s and 65816s for Apple. I told 'em that I wanted to get a 65802
but got told they don't sell 'em singly. So they sent me a sample, for free.
I didn't even pay shipping for it. Now that was pretty slick.

I rummaged a DIP style 65816 from WDC once out of a dealer's old box o'
chips but I suspect we're not talking DIP here.
