Could your counter tell the difference between a dram access and a dram 
refresh though?

Static ram is obviously a whole lot easier, once you de-multiplex the 
address lines (or if you can bypass the multiplexing). On a c64 that 
should also give you the advantage of being able to avoid the VSP memory 
corruption.
