okay, 16 - 256kx1 chips will not give you 2meg... it is only 0.5meg. If the docs you have
say 256kx4 then that is the chip you need and the ones on the ISA board are not the right
ones.
the 256Kx4 DYNAMIC ram chips that you would need were usually used in VGA cards for
display memory.

Back to the DRAM nomenclature, the 1 bit vs 1 byte
explanation helps a lot. I'm still confused about
the multiplier.
The Amiga docs show 16 256Kx4 DRAMs for a total of
2MB, so does that mean that these chips are 256Kx1?
Exactly!
