With regard to my specific interest in reusing Sparc 1, IPC or Sparc 2 memory
in a Sparc 5 or Sparc 20, this was an absolute NO.

poffen@San-Jose.ate.slb.com (Russ Poffenberger) came up with an
interchangability chart which was useful:-

> The following groupings have generally interchangeable memory.

> SS-1, SS-2, IPC

> IPX, ELC, SLC*

> SS-10, SS-20*

> Classic, LX

> If it is not listed, then they are not interchangeable with any other machine.
