Can someone out there tell me what memory speed is required for the
STe or standard ST. (I suspect 100ns) Also if I use faster memory such
as 70ns will asyncronous tasks such as burst filling a 16Mhz
Hypercache or DMA access will these be faster?

With the new MMU in the STe and spare/reserved bit patterns in the
memory configuration can the STE's memory be expanded beyond 4MB. (I
guess adding a new bank size of 8MB would be possible thus allowing
the full 16MB of address space.) any comments?

Many Thanks

Dave H.
