The 783 has an 8 bit refresh counter but only outputs 7 bits. The 
785 must then output the 8 the refresh bit through Z7 to allow 256 
col refresh.  

Also the difference between the 6822 and the 6821 is that the 6822 
has open drain outputs on the ports. These can withstand up to 18 
VDC on them and require pullups when configu red as outputs. 
Otherwise they operate the same and are pin indentical.
