Sorry, the 65c02 is NOT the 65802 chip. The 65c02 chip is just the original
IIe chip made with CMOS technology (hence the C in 65c02).
                                                          ...Sal

The 65c02 is not just a CMOS version of the original IIe chip (the 6502).
Besides moving from CMOS to NMOS, the number of addressing modes and in-
structions were increased.
