- I asked Memory World about this and they said you don't need 60ns RAM for
- burst mode, that it was all in how the board was set up. I don't know that
- simply turning on burst mode is going to speed things up, though. Doesn't a
- program have to specifically use this mode to take advantage of it?
- Otherwise wouldn't it seem to make sense to keep it on all the time? I
- don't know...
