ConclusionThe removing of the MB from the architecture honors the original idea of having data and address the same size. Software will get simplified by not having to declare the current memory bank. Circuitry will also gain in simplicity.
As per the subjective side of the project, I now feel better to have a decent provision of memory that matches the historicity of the machine being built.
The only thing that is still bodering me is the use of modern SRAM memory chips. That, however, will be very hard to "fix".
