There is not much prototyping area on the kit, but it designed for
whatever.   There is not enough room for 3 8kx8 15ns sram, but I have
thought of trying to mount them there maybe piggyback. It is not
much room.

As for a PCMCIA adapter, you can make a jumper from a 32pin DIP socket
to a PCMCIA header.  You can get the part for $6 from digikey and
just wire up an adapter.  Then you can plug a PCMCIA card in instead
of the UVPROM, right into the UVPROM socket.  If you want write
enable you have to run that from somewhere else since it doesn't
come out to the UVPROM socket on the kit.

I can provide the pinouts and instructions of anyone wants to try
using a PCMCIA card instead of a UVPROM.  If you have a PCMCIA card
drive on your PC, or if you have a laptop or notebook with a PCMCIA
card drive it is faster  than burning UVPROM.  Also you can edit
the BLOCKs when they are on a PCMCIA card, exchange data with DOS
files etc.
