Working for an Amiga Dealer, we came across 256x4 ZIP chips with a pin missing
many times, in fact my 2630 has them in it now. There should be absolutely no
problem with these, as the 2630 has an unused pin hole anyway.
*DON'T* solder the chips right into the 2630 unless you are sure the RAM chips
are all in good working order. If you get a bad chip, you could end up damaging
the board trying to pull it, and all the others you'll have to test, out of the
board. Find some ZIP sockets to solder in, you won't regret it! They're
somewhat hard to find sometimes, but they are available, and only cost $1-$2
each.
