Tecmar Jr Capitan memory upgrade

Hello
I recently purchased pc Jr with tecmar Jr Capitan side card.
128k memory, clock and parallel port.
I would like to replace 64k bit memory chips with 256k bit,. Current chips are samsug km4164a-20.
Can somebody recommend a 256k-bit chip for that card?
Thx
Paul
