I can't seem to find these chips: static ram, 128kB (128kB x 8), SO32, low power on idle, 70ns-85ns access time.
Does anyone know how I can buy, say, 3 of them without having to make a minimum order of $100.00 as is required by many distributors who actually have them?

Try M5M51008DFP70HIA0-ND from http://digikey.com $4.50 each, in stock.
I have some older Toshiba TC551001CF's that you may have if you don't mind desoldering them from a board...

I got mine from www.futurlec.com .
(I don't know if I got parts that conform exactly to your specs, but they work.)
At the time I purchased (several years ago!) Futurlec would take a no-minimum order. I'll leave it to interested parties to discover whether that's still true.
I do remember being pleased with their prompt service. (Again, this was several years ago.)
Good luck!

Hi H.D.
Let me know in a day or two if you still can't source the parts you need.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I need a 128kB chip (the one posted above is a 1MB chip) since I'm upgrading my 48G (starts with 32kB ram). I was hoping to upgrade to 384kB (128kB main ram, 128kB port 1, and 128kB port 2).
So far, futurlec.com has all the _other_ parts I need (74HC00, 74HC174, 104 and 143 SMD thin film resistors) but nothing resembling 128kB (8-bit) static ram chips.
Sadly, no distributor has a search feature that allows descriptive words as opposed to knowing part numbers. Mouser electronics is an exception, but they too do not carry the 128kB sized ram chips.

(I couldn't resist.)
Two parts are listed: a "628128" and a "681000", each 128Kx8 CMOS static RAM for $5.90 and $2.90/piece (respectively), in stock. (With a Hitachi data sheet available online for the former.) They're referred to as 1 megabit (not megabyte) chips because 128K words x 8 bits ~= 1 million bits. They seem to come in several packages, so make sure they have available (and that you order) the surface mount, dual inline package.
I think that one of those parts is the same type of which I bought several way back when, and they're working today.
Good luck!
[ . . . and I've finally got 'round to reading the other thread, so you already know most of the above. Sorry!]
