Andrew,

I got my TWGS 32K SRAM cache chips off an old 486 board. if you dig around
the rotting PC graveyards you should be able to find them easily. normally
you'll find 4 or 8 at a time, but make sure they are the 32K ones. if the
part number ends in 256-15 or 257-15 they should be OK.

I am also looking for some more cache chips myself to see if the ones I have
are dodgy. but even 486s are getting harder to find as the PC world keeps
speeding past itself, while the Apple II world lives on  :)
