I'd agree in prinicpal, but if even 0.1% of LGR's 1M youtube followers try
to show up one day, it'd be a Problem. More people going will create a

70ns is the mil temp range rating for the 27S32; the commercial spec is 55
ns.
70ns parts would probably work fine in an M9312, as
At 70ns, I can make the design pretty simple by using an EEPROM. I did some
trial synthesis targeting a Lattice MachXO2 part, and I think I could get the
speed down into the 20ns range that way, at the cost of a more complex board
design and needing to use Lattice's synthesis tool to prepare p
