Question about a Color Pivot adapter for the SE/30

An SE/30 I recently acquired on eBay had a Pivot expansion card loose in the chassis. I connected it to the logic board and found it perfectly functional, though it's seriously lacking in capability because it has only 256 KB of RAM on the card if I'm adding correctly (two chips of 256 kbit x4). I'm curious whether anyone has found a way to adapt regular DRAM chips to the ZIP sockets on the card. What compatible ZIP RAM I've found is prohibitively expensive. I'm assuming it's a color adapter because the ROM chip says "PIVOT/COLOR." I also wish the rotation it does by default was the other way around because the rotating LCD displays I have turn in the opposite direction, so the picture is on its side or upside down, and the software doesn't seem to let me choose whether the picture is rotated or not. On that note, if anyone knows where I could find the manual for this card, I would appreciate a link to it.
