            using a TFT LCD which has over 300k of RAM in it. To write
            or<br>
            read from that RAM, I specify opposite corners and then just
            write word by<br>
            word. Real easy, fast (40mb/s) and no extra address lines
            required. Great<br>
            for temporary storage/buffer space.<br>
            <br>
            Does anyone know of a RAM chip that does this all on its
            own? i.e. write a<br>
            command that specifies an 'address' and then write or read
            until done? I'd<br>
            prefer something with less than the 1776 pins the TFT
            controller chip has<br>
            on it!! (say 16 data, command/data, read/write, chip enable
            & reset).<br>
            <br>
            Would be real handy on small micros (and even not so small
            ones that have<br>
            100k-200k of RAM)<br>
