In regard to ordering an 8 mhz 65C816... I doubt you'll have much luck.

I have a developer friend who acquired a 9 mhz chip from Western Digital, and
he has his GS operating at 9 mhz.  (yep, I saw it myself).

However, it's not as easy as you would think.  First, he did some minor
surgery on the board, rewrote the ROM, and yes, there has to be a new crystal
attached.  Not something the average Joe User is capable of doing.  

Just be patient and wait for miracles from Applied Engineering.

btw, 9 mhz looks great!
