As I think it will be nearly impossible to find existing memory
modules for the desired 512 MB, you would also need to design and
solder your own modules. The largest common ones for VS4000 have 36
DRAM chips (18 on each side) in SOJ package, each chip being 4Mx1. You
could use existing modules and desolder all SOJ ICs and refit with
16Mx1. *IF* you can address the additional memory at all.
But for the eight 64 MB modules, you would now need a total of 288
16Mx1 DRAM chips for example (oops)... What are you willing to invest?
