It just occurred to me that we may have a nomenclature
problem.  I used the expression SRAM meaning Serial RAM.  Old X86
mother boards do have SRAM in their cache all right, but the S means
Static.  That is fine to know if we need to build something that has
some RAM in it and we don't want to have to deal with the refresh
problem that one has with DRAM or Dynamic RAM, so
what Sean said is correct but what I meant was the little 8-pin or so
serial RAM chips that do not use more than one pin for data and
possibly address information.  AS I previously said, you pay for that
in access time.  It will take at least 8 clock cycles to get or write
a byte and X clock cycles to address it depending on the width of the
address bus.
