Just FYI, they're really EEPROM cartridges, not RAM cartridges.

If you can find an original Ensoniq ROM cart, there's this option I
wrote up a while back:  "Making an EEPROM Cartridge"

http://www2.pro-ns.net/~steve/vfxcart.html

I do have to say I changed my mind about whether to recommend putting
in a socket, though.  Last year I forgot to put the cartridge where I
usually pack it, and just put it in my pocket for a few days.  I ended
up zapping the memory part.  Because I used a socket, I just popped in
a new chip and I was up and running again...
