Well, I did it. I upgraded, by hand, my plus memory to 4mb. It wasn't hard, but. I was careful about static charges. I pulled out the old simms. I slipped in 4 1mb simms, I clipped one lead on the 256K resistor and bent it out of the way (just in case it needed to be replaced later if I messed up...). I put it all back together and booted and voila - a sad mac with the status code of 030200. I was nervous during this whole procedure. I've pulled PC's, MAC IIs, and Suns apart and was never nervous - see what happens when you are working on your OWN equipment?. Anyway I find that if I hold down the mouse on power up, the system does come up and the finder reports 4MB, but it does fail the self test. So far it hasn't crashed, but I've only used it for a little while and quite probobaly not touched all the memory. Anybody have an idea what I did wrong or how to fix? Thanks for any and all. / Sid /
