Kyle, There aren't any CPU timing requirements for the
write cycle because the CPU doesn't have any inputs
from the RAM during this cycle (Remember, we weren't
using the ACK signal)
The purpose of analyzing the timing requirements is to
see whether or not two devices are compatible with
each other. The CPU will obviously have the correct
timing requirements for it's own operations, but we
need to check if other devices will work with it.
Since no other devices (Memory) are sending signals to
the CPU during this cycle, the timing analysis is a
moot point.
