SRAM
SRAM_SIZE accounts for a 512-
byte page. The starting address
for the lower 8 bits is assumed to
be 00h and the ending address for
the lower is assumed to be FFh.
Therefore, the maximum address
range is the starting address of
0000h to ending address of
((SRAM_SIZE+1) * 256 words)) or
17FFh. An SRAM_SIZE value of
all zeros specifies that no SRAM
will be used and the internal
FIFOs will be joined into a contig-
uous FIFO similar to the PCnet-
PCI II controller.
