I just received and installed 16 chips and they work in my 2000HD :)
they are fitted into the A2091 board. the previous ones i removed were a mix of 80ns and 70ns (still working)
but if you need a source for 16 dram chips for this specific board, this is what i purchased (60ns chips):
MB81C4256A-60P 16 IC,DRAM,FAST PAGE,256KX4,CMOS,DIP,20PIN,PLASTIC
i sourced them from https://www.questcomp.com/

US company. Thanks for the recommendation. Will have to see how they fare with Mouser.

I've ordered them from China a few times. Once you get them you'll need to spend a couple hours testing all of them. The last time I ordered (40) and (6) were bad. I contacted the seller and he refunded me 15%. They appear to be old pulls from DIP sockets. I did not see any old solder on the legs.
Per the manual, an A2091 supports 100ns or lower DRAM. It is better to get the 60/70ns like you mentioned since you can use them other places - specifically if you update your A500 rev6+ mobo from 512KB to 1024KB. I *think* that requires 70ns or lower.

I *think* the access was 150 ns ;) and the 0.5 MB boards tended to have 120 ns chips, up to 70 ns.

Good to know….
