Panasonic wants $60-$80 (US) for this chip.  The manual calls for a
MB84256.  I think all 32k by 8 bit ram chips are pin compatable.
The existing chips are 120 ns, so get 120 ns or less.  One person
used a Sony CXK58257P-10 chip and didn't have any trouble.  This should
cost you less than $10.  Let us know how things come out. :-)

PS.  This comes up often enough that maybe it should be part of the
newuser posting.
