I can't believe that there's another RAMStakPlus owner out there!!!  I was
beginning to think that I was the only one!  As for the EEPROMS, they can be
hard to come by (at least the right ones for our RSPs are).  I bought mine
(four 28256s) about two years ago from an outfit called Wyle (or maybe Wylie?)
Electronics...can't remember where they are, though.  A tech support guy from
Ared me to them.  The chips cost me about $20 each.  Don't know if
that'll help much though.  I just took a look in the '89 Jameco catalog..they
only carry the smaller 28xx chips.  JDR doesn't list any 28xx anymore.  Good
luck.
