If I needed to replace a 65C02 I'd buy a WDC 65C02 new from mouser - they're still made today :)

  Last paragraph: "As a side note, I have designed a prototype board that allows use of a brand new 65C02 IC made by Western Digital in retro machines. The Western Digital chips have a slightly different pinout to the others, so need a slight conversion. PCBs for this are coming soon."

    But the WDC chips are made by Western Design Center, not Western Digital Corporation.

      So many people get this wrong. I've seen this mistake everywhere.

      Doh! That's what I get for writing with a stack of hard drives next to me. Thanks, I'll update the post.

  That's crazy. I wonder how many chips can they sell these years.
