It entirely depends on which memory expansion you have - I have a Spirit
InBoard with 1.5MB of 41256s, a StarBoard with 2MB of 41256s, and at least
one A2091 with 2MB of 4_4_256s, all of which are 8-bits-to-the-byte-no-
parity. There are even two revs of the memory-bay-half-fast-RAM expansion
for the A500 - one with 16 41256s, one with 4 44256s.
There were a few boards, I think, which did offer a parity option, but IIRC
it was really optional, not required, as in PCs of the era.
