EDO works fine (I have a Sitka here) because of the 4-way interleaving.
SDRAM wouldn't be any faster, since its initial access time is no better
than EDO, and the streaming reads from SDRAM wouldn't be used since
Sitka reads 8 bytes from 4 banks at the same time...
Don't worry about this... the machine _screams_.

By the Sitka unless you want to wait for 133mhz bus speeds. Sitka
is 100mhz.
