I need help. I work for an ISP that also puts together computer systems for sale and I was asked to upgrade the RAM on a couple of Mac Pluses. Having upgraded my own Mac Plus a few days prior, and successfully, I might add, I took on the task. Well, I opened up the boxes, swapped out the SIMMS and clipped the jumpers so the computers would recognize the larger SIMMS. However, when I turned the Machines on with a System 6.0.7 startup floppy, to my surprise, the entire screen was blank except for a tiny little square in the center large enough for the Disk icon with a question mark or the smiling Macintosh icon you see at startup. Unfortunately, after the disks spinned for a few seconds, the computers froze and all I saw was the Mac icon in its little box in the center of the screen. I'm afraid I might have cost my company the sale of two perfectly good computers. I need to redeem myself. I'm the Mac guy in the company! Here's a new problem with my Mac Plus. After I upgraded the RAM on my Plus to a full 4MB, My computer recignized it fine and didn't have any screen problems... however, I can no longer startup off my Zip drive like I used to. I can boot off a floppy wioth 6.0.8 and the Iomega driver and the Zip disks will mount, but that doesn't help me if I want to boot off the Zip using system 7.1. All it does is give me a dead Mac in the middle of the screen with 0F001C writen under it. Help! I want to boot off my Zip and I don't want to hasle with getting an old hard drive. -Joe
