Paul, RE:"Designers did not have to worry about DRAM memory design the Z80 did all the work for them. Believe me - that was a BIG selling point back then as DRAM meory system design was a BLACK art".

Amen about the black art part. I did a fair amount of DRAM/main memory control design back then, but for mainframes, not PC's. Woke up in the middle of the night more than once thinking about ways the controller was going to crash or hang the CPU. Of course, I fixed the problems with EC's. Good old refresh! You brought back some memories, Paul.
