This is from issue #16 (latest issue; orange cover) of Hardcore COMPUTIST:

-----
"Who wants a 65C02?"

Hardcore COMPUTIST is planning to make a volume purchase of 65C02 micro-
processors should a sufficient number of readers indicate that they would
like to purchase one of the chips.  The main advantage of a 65C02 is an
enhanced instruction set.

The 65C02 processor from NCR is being used in the Apple //c but can be
substituted for the 6502 in Apple //e's.  Apple ][ and ][ Plus owners can
also utilize the 65C02, but may have to replace two 74LS257 chips on the
motherboard with faster 74F257's (74F257's will also be available for those
who need them).  We plan to purchase the chips from wither NCR or GTE.

If you are interested in a 65C02 for your Apple or compatiable, drop us a
line and let us know what kind of system you have (][, ][ Plus, //e or
Apple-compatiable [please specify brand]).  You will be notified if/when
you may place your order.  The tentative cost for a single chip is under
$10.  Send your letter to:
