  The four columms of ICs on the RH side are 2114 SRAMs (GTEus no less.)
There are a total or 24 of them. They're 1k x 4 each so that makes a total
of 12k bytes of RAM. The large LSIC has 24 pins and th enumbers are marked
directly on the package.

  It has four 74ls367 93 state buffers), four 74ls243 (Quad 3state bus
transeiver) and one 74ls00 (Quad 2 input NAND) that are in sockets. Any
idea why they'd be socketed but the rest aren't?
