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.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
