I called them today to try to order two of these chips, but they couldn't 
help because I didn't have enough information to give them.  The guy told 
me I need a suffix to go along with that 514400 part number.  The suffix 
indicates what type/size the package is, so without it I can get 1M*4 
DRAMs, but it's anybody's guess if it's going to be a 300 mil DIP 
package.  Does anyone know EXACTLY what I should be asking for?  Even the 
part number doesn't match up to any particular manufacturer.  Seems lots 
of companies make 514400 DRAMs.
