Apparently they aren't. For some reason I thought they were. Ah well.
Doesn't matter much

There's still the W65C02S available from them anyway. It's a static cpu too.
So, I may nave been wrong but the idea isn't a complete flop.

Very true. That's what 6502 emulation mode is for anyway. haha.

Yeah. It's rare I buy anything (besides groceries etc) in Australia. Even
sent airmail parcels work out a lot cheaper. And seem to arrive faster than
something sent from a couple of hundred km away. Never quite figured that
one out.
Example:
I Buy an item online from a store in HK. from purchase date to delivery it's
usually less than a week.
So I anticipate the bluetooth USB dongle (HK) to arrive before the TT3
(Melbourne) although I purchased them on the same day.
I've even had things Fed-Ex'd from the US in a week.
Even more OT. Yay! I get a new pre-loved PDA (Xmas pressie. Expensive but
sorely overdue). No more horrid M500!
One of the first things I'm putting on it after the basics is an apple
emulator. I want portable Below The Root.

What can I say, I love the equipment of my memories, but I also love
mercilessly altering and upgrading things to my specs.
