I'm not sure of the specs, but you definitely can get a cheaper chip.

In particular, you can use a 128k SRAM.  There is one place that I  know
of that sells the proper chip for $70 or so, but I think you can even do
better than that.  That place is Purple Computing at 800-732-5012.

Tandy Tech support is on 817-878-6880.
