Yes. 6 Sockets for SIMMs (4MB or maybe 16MB), 8 Megs are onboard.

Nope. DS5000/1xx memory looks similar, but has a different pinout. You need
the 4000/60 or 4000/90 memory for the /60. The 3100/76 can work with this
memory also, but 3100/76 memory doesn't work in the 4000s usually.
The modules are special DEC modules for those machines.
