Okay... I was just reading a FAQ file on the MC68000s, the MPU I'm
planning on using. It said:
--
QUESTION
Will the MC68000 support 4 megabytes of DRAM using 1x9 1-Mbyte
SIMMs?


ANSWER
You should have no problems interfacing standard DRAM SIMMs to the
MC68000.Note that the MC68000 does not burst so you do not need any
special
type of DRAM such as page-mode DRAM which would normally be required
to
support bursting.

Is this true?  Does this mean that I _can_ just use PC RAM with this
type of MPU?  Does anyone know about or have any experience with
this?
