So, my partner is asking me to buy these for our dev carts, and he claims that these chips are 256KB and 64KB respectively (8 and 4 times what need for the current project), but the literature lists them vaguely as 256K and 64K which to me, seems like it could mean kilobytes OR kiloBITS, and also saying for example on the smaller one that it's "8192 words by 8-bit", saying nothing about pages or specifically listing the number of bytes. I believe they are actually 32kbytes and 8kbytes respectively, though my partner insists it's 8 times more.
Anyway, the point of this is I wanted to buy chips larger than what we immediately need so they could be potentially reused for a future UxRom project. So can anyone shed some light on this? Or tell me if you think that's a bad direction since I have only cursory knowledge about mappers etc and I don't know if it's counter productive, I'm just thrifty.
