     Here is some info posted by Dick Pirong which should help ...

     The Applied Engineering GS-RAM III uses 20-pin "Zip" package 1M x 4
DRAMs (NEC D424400V-80 or OKI H5144024-70). Mike Morton led me to a
supplier in the Computer Shopper magazine.  (Thanks Mike.) The supplier
is L.A.Trade (800-433-3726; http://www.4LATrade.com/memmisc.htm ).

     According to the NEC data sheet, the PD424400 is a 1M x 4 DRAM
available in speeds from 60ns-100ns. It features Fast Page mode
capability and /CAS before /RAS self-refresh capability. Evidently, NEC
no longer sells the chip in a 20-pin Zip package. (If you order chips,
be sure the seller understands that you want them in the Zip package.)
