Hi, very nice work !!! I just make my own S3M player, work on a standalone PIC32 chip it play native S3M format with realtime pattern unpacking ! (vid = Gg9AeQXbcFM)
It should work I think. I'm accessing that memory in SW mode, so even at 32MHz it's pretty slow. Actually 100ns should be OK. Limiting factor is not SRAM but long wires around it (IDE interface).
But I somehow can't imagine what SRAM do you have. 70ns? That must be some reeeaaalllly tiny model. :)
I've started with IDE because it was easy to handle it with current HW. And since it can handle both CF and HDD it seemed like a good idea to me that time (HDD is much more friendly for write routines debugging since it has ulimited write cycles).
SD card seems like good idea but there are several types with different access modes and different pages and actually I don't have any to play with. But I'm going to buy some and try it. At least 2GB version should be easy to handle.
sources for previous version are already available on my web, this version is not documented yet but will be. "Small" problem is that I've made that web only in czech. ;-)
I've made fastandpoor translation of version 3 web so I hope it's more understandable now. ;) The last version is much easier to undestand than v2 (lot of comments there (well, mostly) and it's devided in modules).
yeah - Alexander Brandon is musical genius. His trackers are one the best composed for S3M I think. I know those trackers are copyrated but I somehow could not resist to use them for this demostration. ;-)

I want to try to make one but I only have 70ns SRAM at home, do you think it will work or should I get the 55ns version ?

@xm07 OK, I was asking because you wrote that we "should get the 55ns version" on your blog.
May I ask why you keep the IDE interface ? Do you plan switching to SDCard ?
Thumbs up for your website, too bad I can't understand czech ;)

@xm07 I have HM628512ALP-7 SRAM module in PDIP format, I thought you were using the same.

@xm07 yes !! x_x
I just had a look at v2 code, I really doubt being able to understand it hehe ;-)
