 Actually a 8ksram and a 8kprom would do it.   
Actualy what I had in mind was for the EPROM to copy itself into RAM and
then switch itself out. THat way, you could have as much, or little, in ROM
as you want, and not loos any RAM.

...
 That this is slow enough you could use the EEprom for
sram! (the slow parts 
was 20us and the real fast one was 10us (single byte instruction). 
I believe that the fast one was 12.5us wasn't it? That is what I have.
...

The real annoying part is capturing all the muxed status and syncing it.
 If you've ever done anything with an i960, this is duck soup.

...
 Making the front pannel logic is the real work, it
wouldn't be right without 
the FP!
  My original 8008 system had a home-brew front panel. I would GLADLY do
without that and just drop in a monitor ROM this time.

...
   What do ya
think? 
Tim, your a sick puppy.
