Thanks very much to all those who replied to my question about whether or
not 4/260 memory was usable in a 3/160.

The answer is :  The 4/260 memory boards are NOT usable in a 3/160 because
4/260 memory uses ECC-protection while the 3/160 uses parity protection.

However, the 4/260 memory is usable in a SUN 3/260.
