I have to disagree, some people think it is what will keep the II-line alive
until the GS+ arrives.

I seriously doubt that -- if the 65C832 is anything like the rumors that have
been flying around, then it will be an EXCELLENT chip, and a good contender in
the 90's.  True, not as good as the other computer's CPU's, but it will be a
contender.

As I understand it, that's all it was supposed to be, nothing more, nothing
less.
