This is from the Microprocessors Unlimited Catalog. UP Ultd is in Beggs OK and
advertises in BYTE, PC Week and other magazines. The Dynamic ram prices are
quotes from Worldwide Technologies. They too advertise in BYTE.

          Type                         Price        Price/Meg   
Real Static 128K x 8 (70 ns)           $23.00       $184.00
Psuedo Static 512K x 8 (80 ns)         $27.00       $54.00
Dynamic 1M x 9 (70 ns) (9 chip)        $37.00       $37.00     
Dynamic 1M x 9 (70 ns) (3 chip)        $35.00       $35.00

So as you can see Psuedo static is much closer in price to dynamic than
statics but is closer to statics in packaging (32 pin DIP x 8 organization
instead of a SIMM), and ease of use (no externall controller required).
