Winston:

The chips sound like NEC's 16 Megabit hyper page (implicitly
EDO) DRAM. The "-80" would imply that the chips are rated at
80 nanoseconds, which would be incongruous for EDO.

4 chips x 16 Mbits  =  8 MBytes each SIMM.

I presume these are double-sided SIMMs and you've checked
the part numbers. If these are actually 80 ns RAM, you should
avoid using them in a Pentium or even a fast 486.

Best way is to plug them into a PC and see what turns up. Or
check the NEC web page at:    http://www.nec.com
and search under "Memory".
