Comes around, goes around.  Back in the 16 bit mini days, it was very
common to use interleaved memory.  Just use the low order 2 or 3 bits as
the bank select, then sequential reads or writes step thru the banks.
Assuming most of the memory access is sequential, you can increase
performance a bunch.  The next thing we need to reinvent is a 16 fixed head
fast hard drive for memory paging.

Methinks I just showed my age ;-)
