Subject: Delay Module

How feasible is this idea of creating an 'analog delay' using digital RAM?
Is that an oxymoron, or is this a legitimate concept?

The good points of course are that you don't need bucket-brigade device
chips that will go out of production, and extensibility. It sure would be
cool if such a module could be based on, say, PC EDO RAM DIMMs or something,
with lots of extra sockets so that DIMMs could be added later.

Think about it-a few years from now when your Pentium III is a boat anchor,
you can throw the PC out and move the RAM into the delay module to get some
real use out of it!
