Absolutely you sure can run a 65C02 in a II+. I have one in mine and
it not only runs well, but with the right language/ram card(mine is a
Saturn 32k card), you can run ProDOS 2.0.3 on it. Just don't think
that you can run everything because without MouseText, a lot of newer
programs will bomb out, even with a good 80 column card.
