that might be the reason to lengthen the /RAS pulse. According to DRAM
datasheets (for example the MCM4164), the low /RAS pulse needs to be
150ns min or 200 ns minimum, depending on the DRAM speed (150ns VS
200ns grade).
Measuring the original /RAS low pulse length would give the final
answer (if it's < 200ns or not).
