You can probably adapt something else to suit. A quick google suggests
it's a "Pseudo-static Dynamic RAM", which sounds like it must have its
own refresh logic on-chip. There's probably nothing to stop you just
using a modern static RAM chip, since they're much larger these days
than they were when the EPB was built.
