See my 2 misposts to the 1541 thread.. Good GOD.  I think I'll just shoot
myself now. :(

Phase 2: DMA
We prepare address and place it, unmultiplexed on the bus
C64 sets up Row address, toggles RAS
c64 sets up Col address, asserts CAS for data read/write
we grab the byte
we change the low byte of the address to addr+1
we change the high byte of the address to a known non-ram area (I/O, kernal,
(above two happen at the same time)                             whatever)
We change the high byte back, which causes the PLA to re-assert CAS.
we read the next byte.

end of phase 2/dma

Neat idea, but there's just not enough time in 500ns to do it on a c64
clk->caslo is 229ns max
PLA propogatoin is 80ns max
ras precharge 80ns 
cas precharge 40ns

clk->cas		229ns
cas->casram		 80ns
casram->data		 50ns (150ns ram)
cas->casram		 80ns
casram->data		 50ns (150ns ram)
                       ======
total 			489ns

Now that I've flooded the Sh*t out of the mail list, I'll get my asbestos
suit on. :(((
