A friend of mine decided to get ambitious last night, and tried out some 1x9 SIMMs in his Mac II. Since then, he is getting sad mac codes that are not contained in the sad-mac file at apple.com: 0000000F 00000013 Any idea of what these codes actually stand for (guesses are not being requested here; I can pretty much make as good a guess as anyone else 8^) ? He gets this regardless of what memory configuration he tries (i.e., 1MB as well as the attempted 8MB and various combinations thereof). Thanks. --Frank Malczewski (fdm@wlv.imsd.contel.com)

I can't find any info on the "00000013", though, just that it "...contains additional failure information to help track down the problem." (Note that this is actually a _hex_ number, not just a "regular" base-10 "13".)
