Well, to contribute to the mess.
Kilo universally means 1000 of a lower unit.
In IT we always meant 1024 because everything is usually base 2 or base 16.
Except for... hard disk marketing people...

Just curious why you mentioned 070, like it was skipped (050 was skipped).

020 is actually the same chip.
It uses a 24 bit address bus (so less pins needed), for cost cutting.
Same performance, less RAM can be "seen".
