Does it differ from

?
  I was thinking about adding a 3K expansion though, and the only way
to do it without any logic chips is by piggy-backing 2114's. Hmm, or I
guess I could piggyback three 6264's on top of the character ROM.
Sounds ugly though :P

I might be interested, kind of depends on how well this experiment

Pasi> Using 2kB SRAMs doesn't sound very cost-effective.

That's 0.5 kB, and nope, it ain't :) You can't beat it at simplicity
though -- piggy-back the chips and solder the 6 /CS wires.
