 		 #147076 - Why only 32K
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Shehryar Shaukat said:
I have attached a 32k External RAM ( HM62256 )

Why only 32K?

This is a brand-new product, and you've already run out of both CODE and data space! As you're making the modification now, why would you not fill the complete 64K address space - rather than risk having to make further changes later when the 32K is full!?

In fact, if you're making changes now, should you not be thinking about installing >64K, and providing banking facilities...?
