I didn't get any responses last time, so my question probably didn't get out.
I have a 4 year old Mac that began life as a 128K. Then I added a MacDoctor
512K upgrade. Then I added the Apple 128K ROM upgrade (includes 800K internal
disk drive). Recently I added a Dove MacSnap 548S upgrade, giving me a total
of 2MB of RAM and a SCSI port.
*** Do I have the moral and functional equivalent of a MacPlus?? ***
I've heard that I have the wrong type of clock chip. I've also noticed that
the Sound CDEV doesn't work.
Thanks.

I've also noticed that >the Sound CDEV doesn't work. Functional difference #1: The clock chip you have has a few bytes less parameter RAM (PRAM) than does a factory Mac+. This is why the Sound CDEV does not work correctly. It uses some (>0) of those extra bytes to remember what sound was selected. I believe there is a software patch to work around this. Functional difference #2: Besides the keyboard I know of no other functional differences. Moral difference #1: I do not believe my Mac+ has signatures of the Mac design team on the inside of the case. Moral difference #2: My Mac+ has only 1Meg RAM :-( Does this mean it is immoral for you to have twice the RAM I have? Let's see you sleep tonight with that on your mind. >Thanks.
