GEE... I WISH SOMEONE (MICROCHIP?) MADE LARGER SERIAL RAM CHIPS!

I have also run intro this RAM memory limitation. I would like to use PIC's
more often in my project, they have all the processing power I need, but
since I often need to buffer atleast a couple of K of data.  This forces my
to turn to other chips (68HC11) that are more expensive and harder to get in
qty's.

Tried the dual PIC solution but cost became a factor. Not only did it double
the cost of the processor(s), but the cost of programming (time is money),
and added 1/3 to my pc board size!

Haven't tried VRAM'S, I don't have any experiance with them.
