[Coco] Static RAM in CoCo3?

[Roger Merchberger]

Working on getting my prototype ReMem running (more info here:
http://bitchin100.com/remem_project.htm   )

I'd gotten to thinking:

How much heartburn & voodoo would it take to get some static Ram shoehorned 
into a CoCo3?

{Dreaming...}

Is it as simple as getting really fast RAM (would dual-ported be 
necessary?) and ignoring the refresh cycles....

{/Dreaming...}

This is a question from a guy who understands CPUs, busses, TTL, and other 
shiznit, but have never really gotten my head around much analog circuitry 
& the black magic of dynamic RAM (which, AFAICT technically, is an analog 
critter after all... ;-)

Now that big (to a CoCo) but small (physically) and low power (again, to a 
CoCo) Static RAM is available on the cheap, I'm guessing it's more voodoo 
than science stopping it's use, else someone would've figured out how to 
make it work...

Just random, yet foolish thoughts on my 13-hour-wednesday...
Laterz,
Roger "Merch" Merchberger
