Hello sir, I have a question. Is it possible/viable building some glue logic circuitry to allow newer RAM sticks (DDR5?) with 8/16/32bit systems(6502, z80,68k etc)?
I've never worked on modern DRAM technologies, or even any kind of DRAM at all. I think that memory controllers for modern DRAM devices are available for FPGAs, so you could potentially synthesize a memory controller that way. However, you can get fairly large SRAM devices if you don't mind using a surface mount part, so that would probably be an easier option, since SRAMs require minimal glue logic.
@@davehohacks Thank you, that's a very interesting suggestion. But if the main intention is the replacement of old DRAMs (circuits with refresh), would SRAM without extra circuitry still be an option? Thank you again for sharing you knowledge.

@@CP200S Oh, I see, you're talking about using newer DRAM modules in older existing systems. I don't really know how feasible that would be.
am I the only one that has the intro music stuck in my head?
