Looking at the specs of the 65C816, it looks like it's "mostly"
pin-compatible
with the 65C02 processor, but not entirely so. It looks like maybe it
might be
possible to basically unplug the 65C02 from my IIe
and replace it with the 65816? Has this been done with any measure of
success,
or will I cause a major thermonuclear event by so doing? :)
I'm asking because although I go way back with 8 bit 6502 systems, I
never paid
the slightest bit of attention to 65816s. Now for a variety of reasons,
I'd like
to "play" with one. Specifically, uCos-II ought to run very well on
this CPU
when in "native" mode...
Cheers. Any advice apreciated.
