Greetings!

	I wil (hopefully) be purchasing a 3/160 in the near future,
with the intent of upgrading to a 3/260 some time down the line.
Could someone tell me what I need to swap out to make it work other
than the 160 CPU card (i.e. will the 3/160 backplane/chasis work, will
I need new memory cards, etc?)  Also, does the 3/260 CPU card have the
hi-res b&w framebuffer on it (600x1280) or is that on a separate card?
If it is a seperate card, will it work with a 3/160 CPU?

	Also if anyone is selling a 3/160 and/or the hi-res monocrome
buffer card (if it exists as a separate card, please get in touch wiht
me.

	Please reply directly to me and I will post a follow-up if
there is interest.

	Regards,
	-=Chris

	I would deny this reality, but that wouldn't pay the bills...
