Well, Post=Personal ohne sinnvolle Taetigkeit (no fancy dots so that this message won't bounce from the list). Here it is cheaper to mail to non-EC European countries than to domestic addresses. And EC is more expensive than Finland, of course.

Hmm, it could be 64kb*4 chips, that is, 4464 or so. Let's see...
512+128=640. Yep. Remember to solder them the right way (legs pointing down :-)), and the notch to the right direction.
