So, to ask a dumb question, what does make something RAM? My take on RAM is that RAM is just another device; the only difference is that you want to be able to implement fast paths that go straight(ish) to target memory; but that's an optimisation detail, not something that makes RAM conceptually different from other devices... -- PMM
