Enjoy it while it lasts -- IIRC, that's only 5 posts!
OK. What was the 65832? Was there a planned IIGS successor that never materialized or something?

I googled and found this....
"The company that had made the 16-bit 65816 was at one time willing to make a more advanced 32-bit processor, the 65832. However, Apple's unwillingness to commit to creating a computer that would use that processor doomed any potential for this company to design that processor."

A 32-bit Apple II. Interesting. (If that's what it would have been for). That sounds like it would have been a mess.
It's amazing to think about how many competing operating systems there were in the late 1980s.

I am sure it won't be called G5, but 970, 970FX and so on and so fourth.

Dreams of a G5 or faster Powerbook!!
since we are talking about it in this thread..... is there any chance mods/arn of going beyond the 601 rank? or are we just going to leave it there?

i suppose it could.... but its only listed to 601 at this point
and...601 seems to cover anyone who is above 5000 posts at this point, jefhatfield is at 7600+ and still a 601....
