The first one of those I saw was a single-gate NAND in a 5-pin
pseudo-SOT-23 package (don't know the proper designation) on a Palm
Pilot memory board over 10 years ago.  I still have some older Palms
that might be upgradable, but you need both the RAM chip _and_ an
extra NAND to fully populate the partially-empty boards.

No idea where to get just a couple of those these days.  Probably the
easiest thing is to scrape them off of a Palm SIMM from an old Palm
with a broken screen.
