I intend on using 8x1Mb Simm modules, however the technique of controlling CAS and RAS is not familiar to me yet, and I wish to use a Hybrid controller to do the timming for me I have look up a couple of IC's that will do the job, but are $100 or so dollars, making it uneconomical (The chip is a 74S409). Does anyone have experience with this type of memory control, and would be happy to give me some suggestions on how I can interface 4Mbx8 to a 65c02 in a 4 bank configuration (The 6502 has only 11 available address lines for accessing memory, which means it can access only 1Mb of dynamic memory) Thanks in advance.
