WDC has managed to make a *FEW* fast chips, but in nowhere near the quantities
that Apple needs.  Apple *HAS* purchased WDC chips in the past, but mostly
they buy from other sources who aren't so flaky.  WDC, BTW, does *NOT* from
(whoops, have) in-house production facilities.  They generally have others
(like VLSI) make their chips for them.  No one else besides WDC is currently
producing chips faster than 4mhz (to my knowledge, which, admittedly is old).
