If you find any docs, please let me know.  I have a 16MB VME card that has
a similar parity error. (Can't remember the manufacturer, Choicepoint,
Checkpoint, something like that...) . However the chips are all soldered
(not socketed :-( ) .  So, I've not attempted the gargantuan task of
unsoldering all of those and adding sockets.  I'd DEFINITELy prefer to do a
less dramatic surgery and just replace the one (or few) that are bad.

And if you ever stumble over other Sun 3/110 spares, please let me know!!
