I am absolutely certain that every one of these connections is correct.

This is essentially a MiniNDP (which is essentially a Node Datapac but with
a single large sram), minus the battery stuff, in the form of all
through-hole dip parts on a breadboard.

I think I deduced how the 2-bank 512k rampac is supposed to work by a
combination of studying the single bank 256k datapac and capturing bus
traffic from ram100.co when it tries to access the 2nd bank.

I already drew up an updated schematic and pcb and ordered some pcbs, but
still I figured since I actually have dip versions of all the chips, and
it's only 5 chips plus the sram, I'd try to breadboard the whole thing and
use that to see if it works first. Start with a simple copy of the
known-working 256k circuit, then once that is verified, add my guess at the
few changes to support bank1 and 512k.

For some strange reason I hesitate to actually try it now. Might have
something to do with the 3 or 4 errors I already found and corrected along
the way.
