The book PROGRAMMING THE 65816 by Lichty and Eyes has the WDC data
sheet for the 65816.  It also has WDC's address if you need more
info.

I've heard for a while now that they're planning a 32-bit version,
the 65832. In fact, the 832 is mentioned in the 816 data sheet, and
I guess this new chip will use the unimplemented WDM instruction.

I read that Bill Mensch claims he has 12MHz chips, but other companies
that have actually worked with these chips say they actually run slower,
at 8-10 MHz (which is still much better than 2.8!)
