I think you wanted to say 20 MHz instead of 2 MHz.
The access time of the s-ram has to be, without address decoding of any
kind, about 55 ns. With address decoding accordingly less, you end up
using 35 ns s-rams in most cases.

Connection of srams depends on a lot of factors. The easiest configuration
(without decoding) just connects address lines, data lines, rd and wr
signals to the corresponding pins of the srams.
