Hello Matt
I have an Osborne 486-66 with 4MB Memory chips marked with
the following:-
HYM 532100 AM
They are fast enough to be 70ns as advertised, but using
your suggested formula there is no way to confirm the speed.
As a matter of fact I still am unable to determine if they
are Parity chips.  Can anyone help please.?

Regards
