   No, I guess I got it wrong. I thought you meant 256K per chip, or
4MB per bank (16 * 256K plus 2 * 256K for parity).

   So are these 256K per bank, or 256K per chip? IOW, if they turn out
to be compatible and I install 16 of them on the Amiga A2091, will that
be a 2MB or 0.25MB upgrade?

   I'm a complete retard at memory components. It doesn't make sense to
me at all, even after a fair amount of reading and some explanation from
  some Smart People.

> as for board worth, the 256K chips are worth a bit. I found a site that had them for sale at $0.75 each.

   Well, that wouldn't suck. Of course that means they're really worth
about $0.20/each. :)

> If you need a PC to run it in, buy one on eBay... LOL (couldn't help that one)

   Heh. I'd rather stick my face in the mud.... [family joke]
