If they're Intel parts, I think they're a variation of the 2117, which is an
Intel version of the 4116. It may, however, be the other way around, i.e.
the 2117 may be the variant. Back in those days, Mostek was the leader in
DRAM technology and the 41xx number is essentially theirs, though other
manufacturers used it as well. The National numbers differed from this
practice. Their equivalent was the MM5290. I'll have to go back and verify
all this, but I do believe that they can safely be replaced with 4116's or
their equivalent.
