I am looking to expand the memory of my Epson Apex computer from the 
original 512K to at least 640K.  I've looked at the memory board and there
are 8 chips already present and four empty sockets. The chips are labeled:
	        -----------------
               |   TMS 4256-15NL |
               |   EGP 8745      |
                -----------------
I have looked through the some magazines to find these chips, but I cannot
find them.  Are these a standard chip, or is Epson trying to mess up my life
once again?  I have found the 514256 chips and the 41256 chips.  Epson 
gives absolutely no documentation with the computer other than a starting 
book and books on GW-BASIC and MS-DOS.  No one that I've found has been able
to help me.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance!

I don't want anyone to think that the Epson Apex is not a good computer.
For a computer in its price range, it is a good deal, and the keyboard can't
be beat for feel.  While I was looking for a computer, I chose it over the
AMSTRAD because I was immediately turned off by its appearance, and after
the recent discussions in this group, I think I made a good decision.  Any
other people out there have any impressions about the Apex?
