O.K. Here's a quote from the A2091 section of the A2500 manual:

"You can install RAM chips on the A2091 to increase the amount of 16-bit
memory available to your Amiga 2500.  You can install 512K, 1MB, or 2MB
of additional memory.

Note: Use only CMOS 256k x 4 DRAMs with an access speed of 120 ns or
faster.  Slower DRAMs will not work properly.  WARNING: Do not use
NMOS DRAMs.  The use of NMOS DRAMs will damage the A2091 and
void your warranty.

There are several brands of DRAM chips available for use with the A2091
Hard Disk Controller, including, but not limited, to the following:

		NEC			UPD424256C-10
					UPD424256C-12
		OKI			MSM514256-12RS
		Texas Instruments	44C256-10N
					44C256-12N
		Toshiba			TC514256AP-10
					TC514256AP-12           "

There you have it.
