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.
