I believe all memory cards require one type of chip or the other.
If your card was designed for 256k x 1 chips, you can't plug in
256k x 4.  GS-RAM and Apple's memory card use 256k x 1.  GS-RAM
Ultra uses 256k x 4.  

BTW -- in the Dec 89 issue of Byte, JDR Microdevices advertises
41256 (256k x 1, 150ns) DRAMS for $2.59 each.  Their phone number
is 800/538-5000.
