Chuq, beware of MPII in the 512K configuration.  If your bombs are ID=25, then
this is one of the most ludicrous ways of handling out-of-RAM ever seen.  In
fact, they mention this in their manual, though I would personally hide in
shame over something that unprofessional.

I used MPII in such a configuration at home for a while, then took it into 
work where there are 1Meg MacPlusses, and guess what?  No more bombs.  Both
were HFS configurations with new ROMs.
