You _are_ talking to two people who are so clueless about analog that we
didn't bother putting ground lines between each pair of signal lines in a
cable... ;-)

Haven't gotten that far yet. Probably the latter. (Implementing FAT in
Verilog.... no, I don't think so! :-)

Yes, but if we tried to go straight to PC boards, we'd almost certainly have
had other issues, just different ones! (See above... :-)
And this path allowed us to get rolling without having to go through the
PC-board fab cycle... (including the complexity of doing boards with gold
fingers).

Yeah, but why 'waste' writes on swapping/paging activity, if there's a
RAM-disk ready to hand?
