     To what degree does the 65832 exist? Have prototypes been made?
Is there a specific description available for it yet? If so, they are
be ahead of schedule.

from June, 1988 O-A -

"Prototypes of the 65832 are expected in about 18 months; production is 
expected to start to start in 1990 with 8Mhz chips."
    
     When it does become available it should be easy to write for even
if Apple doesn't support it initially: ByteWorks had a 65816 version of
ORCA/M in 1984.
