Cheetah Cub board

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.
