I caught the other correction about 12 bits data, 20 bits address... so
there's no conflict. Presumably, you would stuff extra chips to put
RAM off of D8-D11 (who'd want to have them populated if there were only
8-bit CPUs in the box), but at least the bus bits are there.
As for the EMA, that's no big deal either... the 6100 will assert them
as needed, and the memory cards would just see them as A12-A15.
