Max clock is 7.6MHz with 70ns DRAM. Minimum clock is 64KHz, but most LPT-ports handles more than 100KHz(486). The counter may be asynchronous since the DRAM's contain internal latch. The circuit is not complete but only to ilustrate that it is very simple to use DRAM - and I think you need more components if you use SRAM. Regards, Jens Dyekjaer Madsen
