Some disappointing news regarding the possibility of the 65816 as a possible
upgrade for the 8 bit line :

	I seem to recall an very detailed article regarding the new chip
in a special issue of BYTE magazine on the topic of "New Chips" (within
the last year). Some months later someone wrote in to "Ask Steve Ciarcia"
in BYTE enquiring as to whether the 65816 could be easily installed in
place of a 6502. His answer was no... 

	I don't have either of those issues anymore however, if anyone out 
there does maybe they can fill us in on the detail.
