SRAM
While salvaging for parts for my robot project, I came across a 64K
nonvolatile SRAM chip. Is anyone using SRAM in one of their projects? If
usable, what are the basic issues for working with one of these chips? The
chip is a Dallas Semiconductor DS1225AD-200.

control 15 bits of addressing pins, the 8 data pins, as well as the
Output-Enable and Input-Enable pins. If you want to save power,
you'll also want to use the Chip-Enable pin. This is a total of 25
pins (26 with /ce) so obviously you wouldn't be able to do it with
just a stamp. For SRAM I use an Atmel AVR chip (AT90S8515) along
with a 74HC573 latch. This is a 40-pin chip though, so there's
plenty of extra pins. For a stamp you may want to use 2 shift
registers for addressing and /CE, as well as 2 pins for /WR and /RD
and 8 for I/O. This should be a total of 16 pins, which
unfortunately is the entire stamp.

an 8-bit shift register be used for data I/O, as well
as a 16-bit SR for addressing, with the Stamp in the
serial side of both? A read op might be 1) shiftout
address to SR1; 2) tell SRAM to read using /RD pin; 3)
shiftin data from SR2. A write would have the same
first step, then 2) shiftout data to write to SR2; 3)
tell SRAM to write using /WR. Pins would be CE, RD,
WR, SR1_dat, SR2_dat, and SClk, 6 total.

Barry Michels posted a super project for interfacing to parallel
memory (CF+sram), using 82C55 PIO chips to cut down on the number of
lines required. If you look at the bottom part of his posted
schematic, it is an interface to a '6264 8 kbyte ram.
