Compatible SOJ DRAM Chips (from Peter)
The memory modules should be 70ns or faster. If you are adding extra video
memory on the adapter, use chips with the same or lower access time as the
existing modules.
The same chips are used on the PC750, PC720 (Japanese) IBM planars and Reply
PowerBoards.
SOJ DRAM Pinout
Pinout of the 256K x 16 DRAM 40-pin SOJ chips.
