    Clearly, what we need, urgently, is ECC on the damn memory chips.  There
    have already been mutterings about this, but no commercial products as
    far as I know.

I have data sheet from Micron Technology that describes a 64K DRAM
with ECC from a couple years ago.  Anyone know if they're actually
shipping this beastie?
