CXK5864 8KiB RAM chips as palette RAM in a AES system

Palette RAM is 16KiB (2 banks of 256 palettes of 16, 16bit colors), and contains color data for each palettes.

It can be read and written at any time. During active display, the color read or written will be displayed for at least one pixel, resulting in noticeable glitches if multiple palettes are updated.
