   At $57/chip for the 1Mx4 static column ZIPS (bank of
   8 to get 4MEG RAM) that's $110/MEG.  The 256x4 are even more per MEG
   (8 x $15 for a MEG, or $120).

If you're paying $15 per part for the 256Kx4 SCRAM ZIPS, you're being
screwed. I got mine for $6/part. That makes the price $48/Meg. I also
got quotes that beat your price for 1Mx4 SCRAMs, but by 20%, not 60%.
That still leaves the 4Mb parts nearly twice as expensive as the 1Mb
parts for each meg.
