  Yes it did.  Pick up the current issue of START and look at the 8bit
section in there.  I believe it has something on the 65816 this month.
If it doesn't, and you want the address for DataQue, I can dig that up
for you.  However, the upgrade costs $130 or so. (and that assumes you
put it in yourself).  It isn't cheap.
