Perfect for GS ROM applications, due to its #16 bit wide data bus and generous memory capacity The GS, like many other "16-bit" computers, has a 8-bit data bus. And many "32-bit" computers have 16-bit data busses. --- Subash Shankar Honeywell Systems & Research Center voice: (612) 782 7558 US Snail: 3660 Technology Dr., Minneapolis, MN 55418 shankar@src.honeywell.com srcsip!shankar
