I am not sure if I understand the way RAM's are catagorized in my electronics catalogs. When a RAM chip is defined as 16K x 1, does that mean that it has 1 bit data bus? If so, then a 2K x 8 chip would hold the same amount of data (bits) as a 16K x 1 chip, but would only be able to address one *BYTE* at a time, while the 16K x 1 chip would be able to address 1 *BIT* at a time. Let me know if I am thinking of RAM sizes the correct way. -- *-----------------------------------------------------------------------* * Bill Quinn billq@ms.uky.edu * *-----------------------------------------------------------------------*
