I recently stumbled upon 4 meg of unsed replacement memory for a Sun 3/60 and thought it'd be nifty to have 12 meg instead of 8. So, I open up the box, add the memory in the appropriate spot, change the memory jumpers from 8 to 12 meg, and voila!, when it boots it says it has 12 meg. However, the message about testing memory still says 'Testing 8 megabytes of memory'. As may be apparent, I could not find the 'how to upgrade memory on a 3/60' manual. Did I miss some soft configuration stuff? On a similar vein, I did have the 'how to add memory to a 3/80' manual. Should these chips work on a 3/80 also? I tried it, but I may have been too timid in trying to insert the expansion chips into the board. Any tips, whatever, welcome. Tony Gast (513) 865-1089 Mead Data Central Customer Environment P.O.
