I'll make a deal with you, Michael. I would not tell the group what the best
algorithm for drawing circles is. :))

The concept of SRAM is great. Once you design a practical implementation
with either a uC to load it at boot or interface to Apple bus to do the same
you'll end up with a pretty compicated design.

By contrast a GAL is a single chip solution. And it's hard to beat the price
too.
About a buck.
