RAM

Internal ram upgrade socket can take either a 32K or a 128K chip.

  • 32Kx8 parallel SRAM, 5v, low power, DIP-28
  • 128Kx8 parallel SRAM, 5v, low power, DIP-32
Hitachi HM628128LP
ISSI IS62C1024L
Alliance AS6C1008

Chips that would work with a simple SOIC-DIP or TSOP-DIP adapter pcb:

Cypress CY62128E

If you want to get real crazy, this probably works, although may not fit
