Hi, a few weeks ago I asked for help with a problem I had after I put some more memory in my Plus. I was getting ID=02 errors when booting or restarting. Well, I probably should have mentioned that I was running a Hard drive w/approx 40-50 meg of stuff on it, and that the Plus would boot fine off a floppy system disk, but not the hard disk. I initially suspected a hardware problem; perhaps installed the Simms wrong, etc., but this turned out not to be the case, since I reseated the Simms three times. Turns out that the fix was at the end of the 6.0.4 system software manual, where it basically says that if you are getting errors like mine, you might not have enough finder memory. So, I went to the finder and lo and behold it has only 160k of memory. Just to test, I give it 1meg of memory and Voila! - it boots up (quite a bit faster than before) and NO ERRORS! Even after numerous restarts. Maybe if someone has a similar problem this will help. Thanks for all who responded to me with suggestions, though. I was glad to know there are people here willing to lend a hand.
