If anyone has any experience with the DOVE, MacSnap Plus 2 upgrade I'd appreciate their comments. I'm considering buying one so I can use the debugger in LSC 3.0. Will I need to get a fan also? Please send responses e-mail

I've found that the fit isn't perfect, so you have to be careful about reseating the Dove SIMMs. Otherwise, installation is straightforward (no resistors to cut or anything) and doesn't seem to place much heat load on the Mac.

I'll echo Rich's sentiments. I had a couple of problems though...
1). The installation directions weren't very clear so I put the case
back together without re-installing the Apple SIMMs in the prescribed
manner. When I turned on the machine, nothing. After replacing the
Apple SIMMs in the correct manner, everything was fine. I also had a
slight problem with fitting the logic board back into its slot after
the Dove SIMMs were installed.
2). You may need to adjust the Mac+'s power supply. I forget the
required setting but the Dove technical support folks can give you the
details. You'll need a voltmeter and steady hands for this...
BE SURE YOU ARE WORKING AT A STATIC-FREE WORKSTATION WHEN YOU INSTALL YOUR
UPGRADE OR YOU COULD BLAST IT INTO OBLIVION!!!!!!!!!

The voltage should be between 4.98 and 5.00 volts. I seem to recall the need
to use a plastic screwdriver to prevent interference from the video circuitry
from throwing off the reading.
There's a very helpful article on installing memory on p. 144 of the May 88
MacWorld. Now if there was any available memory for me to install... )-:
[I called places all over the country. The only placed I found with 1 meg
SIMMs in stock had exactly 16 of them, going for $500 a pop. I think I'll
wait until things settle down. This is yet another example of how protect-
ionism aids the American people.]
