    Reminds me of my first computer which had no main memory at all. It used part of the 16k video memory through a kind of interface logic. With the processor having a 16bit bus, the graphic chip having an 8bit memory, and only allowing RAM access during the cycles where it did not need the RAM for itself, the machine was way slower than it could have been.
