Well, my circuit was simpler, it just replaced the DRAMs with a single 
SRAM. Besides the 128Kx8 SRAM (only 64KB used), you need a 74HCT573 and 
a 74HCT32.

Also, to get around the VSP-bug, it might help to run _RAS through a few 
logic gates (a 74LS08 comes to mind) to delay _RAS a bit.

Well, if you want to stick to NMOS, you can't get more than the 6502B (3 
MHz). If you want to use CMOS,  back then 4 MHz was max and you got the 
problem that the illegal opcodes no longer work.
