The memory chip described in the article below is no longer available. A suitable replacement are listed.

Rakewell will be selling their Flash/RAM PCB. This may be used instead of modifying the original 32K PCB board. This would upgrade the card to 1M.

This memory chip is a 'drop-in' replacement for the BSI chip (see below). It currently fails in PipeDream OZ 4.2. More testing is required.

LYONTEK - LY62W10248ML-55LLI - SRAM, 8M, 1MX8, 2.7-5.5V, 44TSOPIIManufacture response:-

We have read the information on web-site provided from customer. Just as customer said, yes, the circuit diagram is pretty straightforward. We can not  find an problem from that. Just we know, the major differences between our parts and BSI's are the design on ESD protection devices, shown as below. We use type 2 on our parts, but BSI uses type 1 without using P-diode,Dp. We wondered  if this could be the issue. Maybe, we need to make some tests on customer's AP board to learn the real situations.
