This should be 4 _banks_ of ZIPs, with 8 4-bit wide chips in each bank.
The chips can be either 256x4 (1 Mbit) or 1Mx4 (4 Mbit) ones.

You are going to have major trouble with more than two terminator packs
on a SCSI bus.  The standard specifies _exactly_ two terminators, but
you could manage with only one if the cables are short enough (internal
drives only).
