nope, I didn't verify what happens when /RAS is low in general, that's
the next thing.
The fault is really intermittent, as the PET can live for hours idling
at basic prompt sometimes without a glitch and then suddendly dropping
into TIM, and other times it fails during memory test at power on. So
refresh addresses do reach the RAM most of the times.
I think currently my only hope is finding some address changing right
after /RAS edge. If it's only one or two from the same '153, then it
must be that 153. Should I find all addresses moving at the wrong time
(sometimes), then it must be something on page 6 of the schematic.
