IIgs Applied Engineering "GS-RAM" card question.

[Dennis Jenkins <dennis@usb.com>]

Hello,
	My IIgs has an Applied Engineering "GS-RAM" card, with two of the 6
rows of chips populated.  It takes 14 pin "41256p-12"'s  (I'm not sure
on the 'p').  I assume these are 120ns DRAM chips.  If I remove the
card, the IIg2 control panel reports that I have 171K of ram.  With the
card in, I have an additional 512K.  So, if I fully populate the card
I'll have 2.5M + 171K (why is it 171K?)  Is that enough to run GS-OS? 
I've always wanted to try GS-OS.  

	Where can I get the chips to finish populating the card?  My
brother-in-law has an Applied Engineering RamWorks II card in his IIe. 
It has 150ns chips on it.  He doesn't use his IIe.  Can that card (which
is currently in the AUX slot?) work in my IIgs as is?  Barring that,
will the 150ns chips on it work in my IIgs ram card?

	Is it cheaper to get chips for my card, or just to purchase a fully
populated card from someone else?
