I just paid about $5.65 shipped for *each* of my

This was to expand a Microbotics VXL*30 RAM-32, from 2mb to 8mb, which is an
accelerator/ram expansion device for the A500.
I've been looking for four 1Mx4 DIPs for my Rejuvenator (
http://amiga.resource.cx/manual/Rejuvenator.pdf ), but I haven't been
looking very hard.
The 41256 are much more common and available in
comparison.
Indeed. I have tubes of them. They are cheap and available now, but
in 1986-1987 (when PCs had DIP sockets not SIMM sockets), the demand
was higher than the supply.
No kidding! I spent $19 each for those things!

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical
minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd
by the clean end.
