A computer uses RAM chips of 1024 x 1 capacity.
How many chips are needed, and how should their address lines be
connected to provide a memory capacity of 1024 bytes?
How many chips are needed to provide a memory capacity of 16K bytes?
Explain in words how the chips are to be connected to the address bus.

A computer employs RAM chips of 256 x 8 and ROM chips of 1024 x 8.
The computer system needs 2K bytes of RAM, 4K bytes of ROM, and four
interface units, each with four registers. A memory-mapped I/O
configuration is used. The two highest-order bits of the address bus are
assigned 00 for RAM, 01 for ROM, and 10 for interface registers.
How many RAM and ROM chips are needed?
Give the address range in hexadecimal for RAM, ROM, and interface.
