>> The speed of the 65816 is WDC's problem

AMEN.  I'm finally glad somebody posted this.  I was waiting for this.
Apple would be producing 10Mhz GS machines IF THEY COULD GET THE CHIPS!
Please don't remind me about the TWGS.  AE can't get enough of these chips
to handle their customers (I know, I've been waiting quite a while for one).
If someone would build a fast, plentiful, upwards compatible chip, Apple would
release a faster GS.  Till then, the whole point it moot.  Flame the chip
manufacturers, not Apple.  Personally, I can't even blame WDC.  After all,
where would the Apple II be today had they not developed the 65c816?
