	HELP!

	I have an original 128k mac that I upgraded to a 512ke and then
	to a 1024ke. Some of the software I am trying to run that
	requires 1 MB still won't run because it complains about my
	machine not being a mac+. Also, MacEnvy shows my mac as being a
	512ke with 1 MB of memory.

	The question is, what do I need to make this machine look like a
	mac+? I know it's missing a SCSI port and a new clock chip. Do I
	have to have these, or is there some way I can fool the software
	into thinking it's a mac+? Is there a configuration byte or some
	such thing I can manually modify to achieve this?

	Any hints would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Charlie Farwell
