So what speed does the memory run at is my question and how wide?
Playing around with homebrew micro design I am working on, a 500 ns
memory cycle ( 2Mhz ) is about as fast as you can go with standard
parts about 150 ns access time. My limiting factor is not memory
speed but EEPROM and I/O chips dead slow speeds.
