	1981? I doubt anyone could by "a 16K[byte] memory chip". More likely it
was a bank of 8 16k 1-bit chips, or some other combination like four 4k x
4-bit wide chips...

	I think the memory expansion on my Amiga -- around 1987 -- took 32 or
64 chips to make 2MB; I think they were 256k x 1-bit chips. The expansion
chassis cost around $480, and the memory chips were another $400.
