Hmmm... just a second, guys.  Much as I hate to admit it, I owned an Apple //e
a few years back (several).  What do you think the enhancement kit for the //e
involved?  A couple new ROMs, and a 65C02 that was dropped in in place of the
6502.  There are NO logic level problems whatsoever.  The MAIN difference with
the CMOSity of the 65C02 is that it used less power and ran cooler.  Not like
that was a big deal.  There were the extra commands, too, as mentioned in a 
previous article.

Just try it and see what happens.  Remember that there are some programs that
relied on a bug in jumps on page boundaries with the original 6502.  These
programs may crash on a 65C02.  This little bug was often used as a means of
copy protection.
