Eh, strange as may sounds, Latok is telling the truth: the RAM connected to the VDP is not SRAM (static RAM) but DRAM, dynamic RAM. Ordinary DRAM and not some rare dualported Videoram ICs.
In the MSX world the term SRAM often is used to indicate RAM that is kept powered by a battery to let the content survive powerdown. For example every MSX-2 and better (except the OCM ) has SRAM as standard in the RTC IC.

HansO, on the PCB of the OCM on the place u8 and U10 there is sram of the brand chiplus.
Shown in MSX MAGAZINE 3 on page 106 and 107. tHE REAL RAM is on place U9
If you have seen the prototype at Bussum of Snout , it is only mounted at the backside, what is custom of the maker. See e.g. the Megasci as well as my prototype board of the OCM earlier (exactly the same sramtype HM62 ...)
