It will have 2 sets of configuration switches.  One is the starting address
(on a 4KB boundary).  The other is the number of 4KB blocks that the
board will respond to.

I may have a couple of other options like the speed at which it can
respond (the FRAMs have a 35 ns access time) and the size of the
IO hole.

I wrote the Verilog for the CPLD last night and as I finished it, I thought of
a few other options that might be useful.  I’ll look it at some more once I’ve
done the simulation.
