One fundamental problem is that the DRAM init sequence for SiS 735 is 
too complex to fit in the 512 Byte IPL area of DoC. There used to be
some samples of DoC millennium in TSOP package available which have
1024 Byte of IPL SRAM. I have no idea if they are still available or
not. Don't ask about the new DoC Plus, we have no way to program it
since M-system does not release the spec.

Unless you can fix the previous problem, your only chance is a Flash 
EEPROM.
