First of all, look around at the kind of hardware other people are using to
make their own expanders. If you cant think of a price on your own, you'll
never make a good businessman (or Ferengi). I would really recommend against
any kind of ram because it takes power. EEPROM is probably the best way to
go. Look at other ideas from other people. Hmm. anythink over 1 or two megs
is too much if you think about it. Use ASM for the transfers probably. You
dont have to, but it sure beats the link menu.
