With modern components, perhaps one way around that would be to
use eight 44C256s? Looking at the board in front of me, I don't think
it would be
tricky to rig them up to the existing board holes.
Of course, a couple of large SRAMs could also work, but might require
a bit more work to fit in.

That sounds interesting. I'm not in a hurry for it, but I look
forward to seeing it when you have the time.
