I'd like to thank everyone who responded to my query.  The results to
date, including the TMS device, are:

   1) TI TMS2150 - (35, 45ns) -      512 x 9 with output comparators.
   2) AMD AM9150 - (25, 35, 45ns) -  1K x 4 SRAM with a 2 clock clear all.
   3) Cypress CY7C150 - (25, 35ns) - Pin compatable with the AM9150.

I received a couple of replies of the type "We've been using the 2150
for years, what's wrong with it."  Technically, it's a little slow;
however that is far outshadowed by its cost.  If any of you guys are
looking for a product opportunity, look at this chip.  I'll stand
in line, along with a lot of other people.
