I am considering making a cheap 8bit RAM card.
While my initial goal is to make a logical 16MB Slinky and or Ramworks III clone card I feel it could also be useful for other 8 bit platforms like AVR and PIC
My preferrred approach would be to use a small FPGA/CPLD (Xilinx XC3S100E or equiv ) mated with cheap SDRAM (non DDR).
The alternate approach is to use an ARM9 processor or AVR32 (vs FPGA) that already has a built-in SDRAM controller..
Comments?

Use hardware for hardware solutions. The AVR32 is pretty big too.
