The slowest DRAMs I've seen in a C64 are 300 ns.

It shouldn't be, since (in the case of NTSC) both machines run at the same
clock speed.  But on the other hand, the VIC-20 has some buffer chips on
the bus that the C64 doesn't have.

But why don't you use a normal 2764 or 27128 EPROM?  The pinout is not
that much different.  BTW, does anyone know where one could buy nicely
built 2764->2364 adapter sockets?
