8 256k chips makes 256k bytes, which is what the most common claim is
for total ram.  It has been speculated that they are using fast rams, and
doing TWO memory cycles two get the 16 bits needed for the 68k.

It has also been claimed that they dropped the roms and use ram loaded
at startup.  This could explain why the later board had no ROMs but
another set of 8 RAMs.
