It’s a shame bipolar RAMs aren’t still a thing.
Because they’re cheap and easy to find I have sketched out a design for using those sub-20ns 32kx8 cache RAM chips for a mapping register, but being only 8 bits wide means two of them for a “big” memory, which seems excessive. But hey, with 15 input address lines you can either have teeny pages or connect some extras to a ‘573 and have a ton of alternate register sets for task switches…
