A friend of mine recently got a hold of quite a few(>100) of what appear to
be 256K DRAM chips. Its part number is MB81256-15, which I assume to be a
256K*1 DRAM. I put 8 of these, selected at random, into my Ramworks III
card. The memory wasn't recognized, however, the RAM test program I have
recognized that there were chips in the sockets occupied by the 81256. The
chip is made by Fujitsu(It says Japan on it, and has an 'F' w/ a line on top
of and on bottom of it). Any ideas as to why they won't work?(I tried other
samples of 8 w/ the same results). Are they 64K*4, or some other such
combination? Thanks much...

Mark
