Apple could bypass Western Design Center and build their own. Of course it's technically possible to build 10MHz 65816's and I'm sure Apple has more resources than WDC to throw at the problem.

How?  Apple and Applied Engineering have both stated that they are unable
to get 10MHz 65816s in sufficient quantity to base a product on them.

Bill Mensch came off sounding like a snake oil salesman at a recent

available if only his customers had the right attitude.
