Question: Godbout/CompuPro ram boards

Well, both the RAM16 and RAM17 use 24-pin 2Kx8 6116 SRAMs, but I checked the
tech manuals and there is no mention of EPROM compatibility. The RAM20 was
back to 18-pin DIPs, and all the Godbout Econorams I've seen are 18-pin. In
short, no clue...

Can anyone confirm this vague memory, or set me straight?

I seem to recall that one (or more) of the Godbout/CompuPro ram boards used
a 2kx8 static RAM part that had the same pinout as a 2716 EPROM, and could
support 2716s in place of some/all of the RAM chips. True or false?

And if true, was there any special configuration that needed to be done for
the 2716s?
