We are at an interesting point in computer history IMO. Microcontrollers are getting fast enough to keep up with most things happening inside the first (or first few) generations of personal computers. Before, you had to use FPGAs. Now, people use the Pico to create things like digital RGB upscalers or N64 cartridges. The Raspberry Pi Pico is fast enough (or almost fast enough) to keep up with most timing transitions of the 4116 and/or 4164, and I was able to create a Raspberry Pi Pico-based RAM tester that tests 4116 or 4164 RAM chips _live_ as they are being driven by an MSX. If you're interested, take a look at my blog entry here: https://blog.qiqitori.com/2023/08/testing-4164-4116-dram-ics-in-circuit-live-with-a-raspberry-pi-pico-without-removing-them-wip/ https://blog.qiqitori.com/2023/08/testing-4164-4116-dram-ics...
